Finding F-0059
“School B that had the highest levels of coarse particles among the Athi River schools also had the uppermost RR=5.38 (dry; 95% CI: 2.19-13.26), RR=5.73 (wet; 95% CI: 2.34-14.06) and OR=8.91 (dry; 95% CI: 3.20-30.95) and OR=9.79 (wet; 95% CI: 3.53-33.91) values presented for developing airway restrictions compared to schools A, C, D and E.”
Structure
- Factor
- Particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀)
- Outcome
- Lung function
- Population
- schoolchildren aged 9 to 14
- Setting
- classroom, KE (January 2018 to July 2019)
- Study design
- cross-sectional field study: five public primary schools in an industrialised township and one control school, PM10 and PM2.5 sampled in classrooms and outdoors over 8-hour school days in the dry and wet seasons, 578 pupils examined by questionnaire and spirometry (class 4)
- Effect
- OR 8.91 (3.20–30.95)
- Averaging time
- 8-hour school-day means
- Caveat
- airway restriction means reduced FVC; the sentence attributes the exposure to coarse particles (PM10)
