Abstract

AIMS

This study was conducted to evaluate pulmonary effects of traffic pollution on traffic police.

METHODS

The traffic police working in Jaipur city were given a predetermined respiratory health questionnaire, and their clinical profile and lung functions were measured.

RESULTS

This study showed that there were prominent respiratory symptoms and reduced forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV(1)) in subjects exposed to traffic pollution. When smokers were excluded, it showed a significant difference in FEV(1) data of non-smoking subjects exposed to traffic generated pollution and those not exposed. The difference observed was 95.3 +/- 13.6 versus 87.8 +/- 0.95%, respectively, and 95%CI = 4.420-10.517, p = 0.001.

CONCLUSIONS

Respiratory morbidity with respect to lung function tests is observed more in groups working in heavy traffic than the control group.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在评估交通污染对交警肺部的影响。

方法

向斋浦尔市的交警发放一份预先确定的呼吸健康问卷，并测量他们的临床特征和肺功能。

结果

本研究表明，暴露于交通污染中的受试者出现了明显的呼吸道症状，且一秒用力呼气量（FEV₁）降低。排除吸烟者后，暴露于交通产生污染的非吸烟受试者与未暴露者的FEV₁数据存在显著差异。观察到的差异分别为95.3±13.6%和87.8±0.95%，95%CI = 4.420 - 10.517，p = 0.001。
