This study explored the role of outdoor air pollution [nitrogen dioxide (NO) and sulphur dioxide (SO)] and indoor air quality (measured with damp or condensation and secondhand smoke exposures) at age 9 months in emotional, conduct and hyperactivity problems at age 3 years.
Data from 11,625 Millennium Cohort Study children living in England and Wales were modelled using multilevel regression.
After adjusting for a host of confounders, having a damp or condensation problem at home was related to both emotional and conduct problems. Secondhand smoke exposure was associated with all three problem types. Associations with outdoor air pollution were less consistent.
Exposures to damp or condensation and secondhand smoke in the home are likely to be risk factors for child emotional and behavioural problems. Parents should continue to be educated about the dangers of exposing their children to poor air quality at home.
本研究探讨了 9 个月大时的室外空气污染(二氧化氮 [NO] 和二氧化硫 [SO])和室内空气质量(通过潮湿或冷凝以及二手烟暴露来衡量)对 3 岁时情绪、行为和多动问题的作用。
使用多层次回归模型对居住在英格兰和威尔士的 11625 名千禧年队列研究儿童的数据进行了建模。
在调整了一系列混杂因素后,家中存在潮湿或冷凝问题与情绪和行为问题均有关。二手烟暴露与所有三种问题类型均有关。与室外空气污染的关联则不太一致。
家中潮湿或冷凝以及二手烟暴露可能是儿童情绪和行为问题的危险因素。应继续对父母进行教育,使其了解在家中让孩子暴露于空气质量差的环境中的危害。
