The Effects of Short-Term PM_2.5 Exposure on Pulmonary Function among Children with Asthma-A Panel Study in Shanghai, China.

ABSTRACT: Fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) has been reported to be an important risk factor for asthma. This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between PM_2.5 and lung function among children with asthma in Shanghai, China. From 2016 to 2019, a total of 70 Chinese children aged 4 to 14 in Shanghai were recruited for this panel study. The questionnaire was used to collect baseline information, and the lung function covering forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were carried out for each child more than twice during follow-up. Meanwhile, the simultaneous daily air atmospheric pollutants and meteorological data were collected. The linear mixed effect (LME) model was used to assess the relationship between air
