Outdoor sulphur dioxide and respiratory symptoms in Czech and Polish school children: a small-area study (SAVIAH)

Abstract: In these two Central European cities with relatively high levels of air pollution, small-area based indicators of long-term outdoor winter concentrations of SO2 were associated with wheezing/whistling and with asthma diagnosed by a doctor.

“…Finally, results suggest that childhood exposure to particulate matter does not impact long-term respiratory health in adulthood. This contradicts findings from previous studies that link short-term respiratory health outcomes to childhood exposures to particulate matter and SO 2 (Schwartz and Lucas 2000;Avol et al 2001;Pikhart et al 2001;Gauderman et al 2002) and thus raises a number of important questions in relation to the latency period of respiratory health outcomes, critical and sensitive periods of exposures, and possible cumulative pathways in relation to exposures to particular air pollutants. This might, in fact, suggest that the residual impact of childhood exposure to particulate matter declines as young people reach adulthood.…”

“…Review studies indicate that PM 2.5 have stronger acute respiratory impacts than coarse particles (Schwartz and Lucas 2000) and are associated with decrements in lung function growth (Ward and Ayres 2004). Literature also suggests that childhood exposure to SO 2 is related to respiratory symptoms (persistent wheeze, cough, phlegm), lifetime prevalence of diagnosed asthma, infectious airway diseases (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis, chest colds, and tonsillitis), and a decrease in lung function (Pinter et al 1996;Sanchez et al 1999;Pikhart et al 2001;Zhang et al 2002).…”

“…18 Although never known to be a respiratory irritant, SO 2 is known to induce respiratory symptoms. 19 In fact, both had aversive odors and showed relative stronger effects in our results. O 3 had a weaker effect on the questionnaire-determined perceived ambient air pollution.…”

“…Proximity to main roads and photochemical industrialized zones was also applied by using geographic information system (GIS). Reliable measurements of daily SO 2 , NO 2 , CO, and PM 10 concentrations were available from several air monitoring stations by using various extrapolation method, such as kriging to predict the spatial distribution of the air pollutants (Pikhart et al 2001;Mulholland et al, 1998;Jerrett et al 2005b). The kriging method, unlike proximity models (Jerrett et al 2005a), uses real pollution measurements in the computation of exposure estimates.…”
