In order to get a better knowledge on respiratory illnesses of children in Toulouse, and to evaluate the influence of air pollution, 1,000 children between 8 and 11 years of age, living in five different areas of the city were observed during one year (March 1985-March 1986), together with the measure of twenty pollutants. A questionnaire was used to assess the history of respiratory diseases and the chronic respiratory pathology. According to the areas, no difference appeared, other than the frequent cough which is more important in an area with lower social income (p less than 0.01). The acute respiratory illnesses, as noted during the year of observation, had a different pattern according to the areas (p less than 0.0001). Amongst the five pollutants used for the analytic study through the cross-correlations, four: nitrogen monoxide and dioxide, black fumes, and ammonia particulate derivatives are related to the respiratory diseases.
为了更好地了解图卢兹儿童的呼吸道疾病，并评估空气污染的影响，在一年时间里（1985年3月至1986年3月）对居住在该市五个不同区域的1000名8至11岁儿童进行了观察，同时对20种污染物进行了测量。使用问卷调查来评估呼吸道疾病史和慢性呼吸道病理情况。根据不同区域来看，除了在社会收入较低区域更常出现的咳嗽（p小于0.01）外，未发现其他差异。在观察年度内记录的急性呼吸道疾病，根据区域呈现出不同的模式（p小于0.0001）。在通过交叉相关性进行分析研究的五种污染物中，有四种：一氧化氮和二氧化氮、黑烟以及氨颗粒物衍生物与呼吸道疾病有关。
