Tóm tắt : | 89 p. A considerable amount of research has been conducted over the past 20 years into the possible hazards to health from air pollution, particularly where exposure may have lasted for many years. Research has been directed mainly towards defining the relationship between exposure to air pollution and the development of respiratory disorders. The results of those studies had been sufficiently encouraging for the WHO Regional Office for Europe to consider organizing an international collaborative study on the relationship between air pollution and respiratory disease in children. The background to this action was a Working Group, convened by the Regional Office in Copenhagen in January 1971, which drew up a long-term programme on environmental pollution control in Europe. The Working Group concluded that studies carried out among children would be the most promising field of research on the medical effects of air pollution. The Regional Office subsequently convened a Working Group in Copenhagen in February 1972 which reviewed studies on the relationship between air pollution and respiratory disease in children that had so far been carried out in the European Region. The Working Group agreed that new studies should be conducted within the framework of the long-term programme on environmental pollution control. Using information from the earlier studies, the Working Group prepared an outline for a coordinated study of air pollution and its possible effects on respiratory disease in children. |
