Objective
THE ADDITIONAL PROPOSAL INCLUDES TWO NEW SITES IN THE EC PANEL STUDY ON EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM CHANGES IN URBAN AIR POLLUTION ON THE RESPIRATORY HEALTH OF CHILDREN WITH CHRONIC RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS. THE SITES ARE BOTH IN URBAN AREAS CHARACTERIZED BY HEAVY INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION (TEPLICE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND ZABRZE OR CHORZOW IN POLAND). FOR BOTH SITES, SUITABLE CONTROL AREAS WILL BE SELECTED AS WELL. THE STUDY WILL BE CARRIED OUT IN BOTH AREAS ACCORDING TO THE PROTOCOL OF THE LARGER STUDY, AS IT HAS BEEN PROPOSED IN MARCH 1992, AND AS IT HAS BEEN DETAILED BY THE STUDY PARTICIPANTS IN TWO MEETINGS IN THE SPRING OF 1993. BOTH TEAMS OF INVESTIGATORS IN THE ADDITIONAL PROPOSAL HAVE BEEN INVOLVED TO SOME EXTENT ALREADY IN THESE MEETINGS, SO THAT SUCCESFUL PARTICIPATION IS LIKELY, DESPITE THE SHORT PREPARATORY PHASE THAT IS LEFT UNTIL THE FIELD WORK OF THE STUDY STARTS IN LATE 1993. THE SPECIFIC VALUE OF THE ADDITION OF THESE TWO AREAS IN THE STUDY IS THAT THEY WILL PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO EFFECTS OF HEAVY INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION, IN COUNTRIES WHERE TWO LARGE URBAN AREAS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE STUDY AS WELL (PRAGUE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC, AND CRACOW IN POLAND). THIS WILL PROVIDE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OBTAINING MUCH NEEDED DATA ON HEALTH IMPACTS OF EXEMPLARY INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION, AND FOR COMPARING THESE EFFECTS TO THOSE OF GENERAL URBAN AIR POLLUTION WITHIN THE SAME COUNTRY.
