| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is worried about the health effect of air pollutant including a sandstorm that comes from northern part of China. In the present study, the air pollution and its personal exposure were measured in Beijing and the farm village in China, and Kurume City, and the surveillance study on the influence to aged patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was done. As a result, amount of <2.5μm of diameter particulate matter (PM2.5) was higher in Beijing and Kurume in spring, and correlated to the amount of an individual personal exposure. The pollution level was higher in the city part than that in the farm village part. PM10 and PM2.5 increased during yellow dust came flying to Japan, and the amounts of SOx, NOx and NH_<4^+> were higher at nighttime compared with at daytime, and patients with COPD showed tendency of the symptom exacerbation.
