ASSOCIATION OF HEALTH EFFECTS AND NO2 CONCENTRATION IN INDOOR AIR OF THE RESIDENCES

摘要

This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between different health outcomes, indoor and personal NO2 concentration for 39 housewives in Siheung city in Korea during November and December in 2003. In the results of this study, variations of pulmonary function were showed significantly, even though participants didn't feel any subjective symptoms or felt them in low level. Therefore, assessing the health effects from pollution under low level, it can be suggested that using objective health outcome such as pulmonary function test rather than subjective symptom score show more conclusive and clearer relationship.
