04-3-1 | Public Meeting to Consider a Health Update As part of the regular monthly health update, staff will discuss an ARB funded study that investigated the relationship between exposure to toxic air pollutants and acute respiratory health effects. This pilot study looked at 26 school children with asthma living in Southern California and measured community exposure to air toxics. The investigators found a significant association between air toxics exposures and asthma symptoms. This was a pilot study and more work is needed on exposure to traffic and industrial related air toxics and acute respiratory effects. |
