The respiratory health effects of nitrogen dioxide in children with asthma.
There is growing evidence that asthma symptoms can be aggravated or events triggered by exposure to indoor nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)) emitted from unflued gas heating. The impact of NO(2) on the respiratory health of children with asthma was explored as a secondary analysis of a randomised community trial, involving 409 households during the winter period in 2006 (June to September). Geometric me...
متن کاملRespiratory effects associated with indoor nitrogen dioxide exposure in children.
BACKGROUND The human health effects of exposure to indoor nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are unclear, and few studies have examined the effects of short-term peak levels of exposure. METHODS The association between indoor exposure to NO2 and respiratory illness was examined in 388 children aged 6-11 years. The NO2 levels were monitored during winter in 41 classrooms, from four schools with unflued ga...
متن کاملHealth effects of daily indoor nitrogen dioxide exposure in people with asthma.
Household gas appliances produce nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which may be associated with an increase in symptoms in asthmatics. The relationship between indoor NO2 exposure, and respiratory symptoms in people with asthma was evaluated. Self-reported asthmatics (n=125) wore lapel badges that measured NO2 daily over 6 weeks at home. Outdoor pollutants, spores and meteorological parameters were measu...
متن کاملNitrogen dioxide and respiratory illness in children. Part IV: Effects of housing and meteorologic factors on indoor nitrogen dioxide concentrations.
In a prospective study of infants' exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2)* and respiratory illness, NO2 concentrations were measured in more than 1,400 homes in Albequerque, NM, From January 1988 through June 1991 (Health Effects Institute Research Report Number 58, Parts I, II and III). This report characterizes the variability in indoor NO2 concentrations across seasons and years, and identifies ...
متن کاملAsthma in children exposed to nitrogen dioxide in ice arenas.
Very high concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) have been measured in arenas using combustion engine-powered resurfacing machines. This study was performed to compare the occurrence of asthma in children playing ice hockey in arenas using propane-powered machines and in children attending arenas using electric machines. Children regularly playing hockey in the arenas (nine propane, six elect...
