At the request of its inhabitants, an epidemiological survey was conducted among the children of Carling, a particularly polluted industrialized town in the department of the Moselle in North-East France. Contrary to all expectations, no major toxic effect of industrial pollution on the respiratory health of the children was found. There was some correlation between the fact of living in a polluted area and a claimed respiratory morbidity. However, the potentially harmful effect of atmospheric pollution could not be translated in terms of abnormalities of respiratory function. In contrast, a significant effect of the smoking habits of the parents, and particularly of the mothers, on respiratory symptoms and spirographic data of their children was observed.
应当地居民的要求，在法国东北部摩泽尔省一个污染特别严重的工业化城镇卡林的儿童中进行了一项流行病学调查。与所有预期相反，未发现工业污染对儿童呼吸健康有重大毒性影响。生活在污染地区这一事实与声称的呼吸道发病率之间存在一定相关性。然而，大气污染的潜在有害影响无法通过呼吸功能异常来体现。相比之下，观察到父母尤其是母亲的吸烟习惯对其子女的呼吸道症状和肺功能数据有显著影响。
