An epidemiological survey was made in 9 cities and towns of Russia to study the influence of emissions from building and finishing materials and new furniture on children's health. About 6,000 questionnaires containing the questions as to their apartment repairs and furniture changes were filled in. The questionnaire pays a particular attention to the types of used building materials, such as synthetic carpet covering, wood-particle boards, linoleum, paints, wall papers, and suspended ceilings. To study the children's health status, a number of questions of the questionnaire were devoted to the presence of some respiratory and allergic diseases (symptoms) reflecting the influence of unfavorable factors within the inhabited place. The logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between the types of building materials used for repairs and the respiratory symptoms. There was a significant relationship of the chemical substances emitted from building materials and new furniture to the incidence of respiratory and allergic diseases in young schoolchildren. |
