Abstract

Respiratory diseases are a frequent reason for using health care. In 1995–1996, diseases of the respiratory tract (ICD 460–519) contributed seven of the top 15 reasons for visits to physician offices among children under 15 years of age in the United States. Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is a wide-spread environmental pollutant that has been long linked with respiratory problems. This paper will review the available literature on the role ETS plays in respiratory diseases, including asthma. This review focuses not only on the respiratory problems caused by ETS, but also examines the influence of age at exposure on the consequences of ETS and the importance of the differing sources of ETS exposure. As ETS is a completely preventable form of environmental pollution, the success or failure of various types of interventions will also be reviewed.

环境烟草烟雾是儿童呼吸道疾病的一个危险因素
呼吸系统疾病是就医的一个常见原因。1995-1996年,呼吸道疾病(ICD 460-519)在美国15岁以下儿童就诊的前15个原因中占7个。环境烟草烟雾(ETS)是一种广泛存在的环境污染物,长期以来一直与呼吸道疾病有关。本文将回顾有关ETS在包括哮喘在内的呼吸系统疾病中的作用的现有文献。这篇综述不仅关注由ETS引起的呼吸问题,而且还探讨了暴露年龄对ETS后果的影响以及不同ETS暴露源的重要性。由于碳排放交易体系是一种完全可以预防的环境污染形式,因此还将审查各种干预措施的成功或失败。
