Infant lung function in relation to air pollution exposure in Stockholm, Sweden - results from the EMIL-cohort

Background: Traffic related air pollution (TRAP) is a well-known risk factor for lung disease. In particular, exposure during infancy has been shown to affect lung function later in childhood. However, there are few studies investigating the effect on lung function in infancy. Aims and Objectives: To investigate lung function in infancy in relation to TRAP exposure, hypothesizing that the effect on lung function is apparent already in infancy. Methods: Through a combination of birth registers and address based exposure assessment a total of 99 infants resident within Stockholm city at addresses with low (PM10 Results: There were no significant differences in lung function between infants with low and high levels of TRAP exposure (Table 1).
 *Maximal forced expired flow at functional residual capacity #Forced expiratory volume at 0.5 seconds Conclusion: Using a binary indicator of TRAP exposure, we found no significant effects on lung function at six months of age. This may have to do with comparatively low levels of air pollution in Stockholm.
