| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The effects of short-term exposure to airborne particulate matter including Asian dust (AD) on pulmonary function have not been clearly established in Japan. Light detection and ranging is used to monitor AD particles and distinguish them from air pollution aerosols. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between short-term exposure to airborne particulate matter and pulmonary function in children using LIDAR data. The daily peak expiratory flow (PEF) of 706 schoolchildren, aged from 9 to 12, was measured daily from January to May 2014. A linear mixed model was used to estimate the association of PEF with the daily levels of AD particles, air pollution aerosols, suspended particulate matter (SPM), and particulate matter smaller than 2.5 μm (PM2.5). There was no association with pulmonary function and airborne particulate matter such as AD particles, air pollution aerosols, SPM, and PM2.5.
