Abstract
As one of the world's polluted regions, we assessed the association between ambient PM2.5 levels and acute lower and upper respiratory infection in India. We assessed 55,118 children from the 2015-2016 Demographic Health Survey in India using the information on levels of PM2.5 in 2015 and 2016 from the Atmospheric Composition Analysis Group. We used the generalized estimating equation for the analysis reported as odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for every 10 µg/m3 increase and quartiles in PM2.5. Every 10 µg/m3 increase in levels of PM2.5 associated with acute upper respiratory infection (OR 1.02, 95%CI: 1.02-1.03) and acute lower respiratory infection (OR 1.05, 95%CI: 1.03-1.06). This association was confirmed by quartile exposure assessments. Mitigation efforts must be continued implementing higher restrictions in India to ensure safe levels of air.
期刊介绍：
Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health , originally founded in 1919 as the Journal of Industrial Hygiene, and perhaps most well-known as the Archives of Environmental Health, reports, integrates, and consolidates the latest research, both nationally and internationally, from fields germane to environmental health, including epidemiology, toxicology, exposure assessment, modeling and biostatistics, risk science and biochemistry. Publishing new research based on the most rigorous methods and discussion to put this work in perspective for public health, public policy, and sustainability, the Archives addresses such topics of current concern as health significance of chemical exposure, toxic waste, new and old energy technologies, industrial processes, and the environmental causation of disease such as neurotoxicity, birth defects, cancer, and chronic degenerative diseases. For more than 90 years, this noted journal has provided objective documentation of the effects of environmental agents on human and, in some cases, animal populations and information of practical importance on which decisions are based.
