摘要

背景&;全球人口持续指数增长的人为影响放大了全球变暖的自然因素。没有适当规划的城市化通过有毒气体的污染,加剧了儿童等弱势群体的严重疾病。我们通过对居住在罗马市中心的儿童呼吸健康的回顾性研究来说明这些关联,当时这个人口稠密的城市中心记录了欧洲最高的空气污染水平之一。方法从2006年到2007年,对90名儿童(包括两个年龄组(>;10岁和<;10岁))的肺和呼吸功能参数进行了评估。此外,还获得了从罗马城市交通和城市背景站收集的2006年至2008年和2020年至2021年的历史空气污染数据,以便对空气污染与儿童呼吸健康之间的相关性进行分析。结果米德呼气流速严重受损,同时过敏性特应性增加。历史数据显示,城市背景和交通站的PM10、PM2.5、no和NO2测量值之间没有差异,也没有显著的时间趋势。然而,尽管两者都随着时间的推移而下降,但交通中的CO测量值始终高于背景站。结论我们的相关研究表明,呼吸系统健康和功能的下降可能与空气污染有关,导致对新冠肺炎等病毒感染的易感性增加,尤其是在脆弱人群中。在这种情况下,弱势群体的环境健康和疾病预防也与气候变化有关,可以通过集中精力打击城市污染来解决。

Retrospective assessment of the association between urban air pollution and children’s respiratory functions in Rome: Insights for developmental environmental health

Background & aims

Naturogenic aspects of global warming are amplified by the anthropogenic effects of the persistent exponential global population growth. Urbanization without proper planning escalates serious all-time disease pathologies in vulnerable populations, such as children, through pollution of toxic gases. We illustrate these associations with a retrospective study of respiratory heath in children living in downtown Rome when this dense urban center recorded one of the highest air pollution levels in Europe.

Methods

Lung and respiratory function parameters were evaluated from 2006 to 2007 in a cohort of 90 children including two age subgroups (>10 years and <10 years). Additionally, historical air pollution data from 2006 to 2008 and 2020–2021, collected from urban traffic and urban background stations in Rome, was obtained to allow for a correlational analysis between air pollution and children's respiratory health.

Results

Severe impairments on the Mead Expiratory Flow Rate were revealed alongside an increase in allergenic atopics. Historical data showed no differences between measurements from urban background and traffic stations for PM10, PM2.5, NO, and NO2, and no significant time trends. However, although both declined over time, CO measurements were consistently higher from traffic than background stations.

Conclusions

Our correlational study indicates that decreases in respiratory health and function may be associated with air pollution, leading to increased susceptibility to viral infections, such as COVID-19, especially in vulnerable populations. In this context, vulnerable populations’ environmental health and disease prevention, also linked with climate change, could be addressed by focusing efforts on combatting urban pollution.
