Abstract

Improving asthma outcomes for underserved populations can be addressed through interventions to improve indoor air quality (IAQ). New protocol for measuring IAQ and health outcomes are imperative given advances in IAQ monitoring technology and challenges in conducting intervention research in homes. In this pilot study HEPA air purifiers and HEPA vacuum cleaners were provided to five homes with children with asthma. For 6 weeks, eight common components of air quality were measured using a low-cost multi-channel air quality monitoring device, with data conveyed directly from participant homes via Wi-Fi connection. In conjunction with periodic surveys on asthma control, impact of asthma on quality of life and intervention compliance, outcomes compared IAQ, home characteristics, and asthma-related measures. This pilot study demonstrates the feasibility of a protocol to evaluate a dual component intervention to improve IAQ in homes, as measured with a low-cost air quality monitoring device.

监测住宅空气质量以解决哮喘后果的可行性。
通过改善室内空气质量(IAQ)的干预措施,可以改善服务不足人群的哮喘治疗效果。鉴于室内空气质量监测技术的进步和在家庭中开展干预研究的挑战,制定新的室内空气质量和健康结果测量方案势在必行。在这项试点研究中,为五户哮喘儿童家庭提供了高效空气净化器和高效真空吸尘器。在为期 6 周的时间里,使用低成本的多通道空气质量监测设备对空气质量的 8 个常见成分进行了测量,并通过 Wi-Fi 连接直接从参与者家中传输数据。在定期调查哮喘控制情况、哮喘对生活质量的影响和干预依从性的同时,研究结果还对室内空气质量、家庭特征和哮喘相关措施进行了比较。这项试点研究证明了通过低成本空气质量监测设备来评估改善家庭室内空气质量的双成分干预方案的可行性。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene ( JOEH ) is a joint publication of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA®) and ACGIH®. The JOEH is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to enhancing the knowledge and practice of occupational and environmental hygiene and safety by widely disseminating research articles and applied studies of the highest quality. The JOEH provides a written medium for the communication of ideas, methods, processes, and research in core and emerging areas of occupational and environmental hygiene. Core domains include, but are not limited to: exposure assessment, control strategies, ergonomics, and risk analysis. Emerging domains include, but are not limited to: sensor technology, emergency preparedness and response, changing workforce, and management and analysis of "big" data.
