The first stage of a 2-year survey of respiratory morbidity in primary school children was conducted in two districts of Hong Kong in April/May 1989. One group (2009) of children was from Kwai Tsing District, which had high levels of exhaust emission from factories. The other group (1837) was from Southern District where atmospheric pollution was considered to be relatively low. After adjustment for gender, age, socioeconomic factors, child smoking and exposure to parental smoking, the prevalence ratios of sore throat, evening cough, cough for more than 3 months, morning phlegm and wheezing were found to be significantly higher in Kwai Tsing. The difference between the districts is likely to be related to the environmental air quality. The study, which is continuing, will provide the basis for an evaluation of the impact of new low sulphur fuel regulations introduced in July 1990.
