Abstract
High levels of air pollution, especially sulphur dioxide, particulates and NOx as well as ozone have been associated with respiratory illness in children and adults. Postulated chronic and acute health effects from air pollution usually are related to the respiratory system and include mortality, respiratory symptoms and diseases, and can have effects on the lung. However, respiratory symptoms are not only a consequence of air pollution but occur as a result of a variety of factors, e.g. smoking, allergens, etc.
