    Author: Nicolussi FH, Santos AP, André SC, Veiga TB, Takayanagui AM.
    Journal: Rev Saude Publica; 2014 Apr; 48(2):326-30. PubMed ID: 24897055.
    Abstract:
    Study on the prevalence of allergic respiratory diseases in schoolchildren between six and seven years old, associated with indicators of air pollution. A questionnaire based on the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood was administered to parents of students from public schools, located in urban areas with differing vehicle flows. There was a positive correlation between monthly frequency of rhinitis and concentration of pollutants, and negative with relative air humidity. Even with levels of air pollutants below that allowed by law, the prevalence of asthma, rhinitis and associated symptoms tended to be higher in the central region school, where there is heavy vehicular traffic.
