Air Pollution and Childhood Asthma Hospitalizations in Chengdu, China: A Time-Series Study
Our results suggest that increased concentrations of PM<sub>2.5</sub>, PM<sub>10</sub>, SO<sub>2</sub>, NO<sub>2,</sub> and CO in Chengdu lead to hospitalization for asthma in children and that a lag effect was observed, especially with SO<sub>2</sub>. These findings highlight the need for stricter air quality controls to reduce childhood asthma hospitalizations.
