Fine particles are more strongly associated than coarse particles with acute respiratory health effects in schoolchildren
J Schwartz, LM Neas - Epidemiology, 2000 - journals.lww.com
Numerous studies have reported associations between airborne particles and a range of
respiratory outcomes from symptoms to mortality. Current attention has been focused on the
characteristics of these particles responsible for the adverse health effects. We have
reanalyzed three recent longitudinal diary studies to examine the relative contributions of
fine and coarse particles on respiratory symptoms and peak expiratory flow in
schoolchildren. In the Harvard Six Cities Diary Study, lower respiratory symptoms in a two …
