The study population comprised 653 women, aged 33.87 3.0 years. Data on respiratory symptoms, diseases and exposure to indoor air pollutants (passive smoking and smoke of combustion products) were collected using a questionnaire. Women living in the residential area showed a significantly higher prevalence of all respiratory symptoms. Also, a positive correlation was found between cough, congestion and bronchitis, and exposure to passive smoking. There was no statistical difference in respiratory symptoms between women exposed to combustion products compared to unexposed womenV raziskavi so želeli ugotoviti povezanost med onesnaženostjo zunanjega in notranjega zraka in boleznimi dihal pri ženskah. V obdobju od 2000 do 2004 somerili koncentracije žveplovega dioksida in črnega dima v zraku, in sicer v stanovanjskem in v predmestnem predelu Niša v Srbiji. V študijo je bilo zajetih 653 žensk, starih 33.87 3.0 let. Podatke o simptomih in boleznih dihal ter o izpostavljenosti onesnaževalcem v zunanjem in notranjem zraku (tobačni dim, pasivno kajenje in dim iz gorljivih materialov) so zbirali s pomočjo vprašalnika. Pri ženskah v stanovanjski soseski so ugotovili statistično značilno večjo pogostnost simptomov v dihalih. Našli so tudi pozitivno korelacijo med pojavi kašlja, kongestije in bronhitisa in pasivnim kajenjem. Pri ženskah, izpostavljenih dimu gorljivih materialov, niso ugotovili statistično značilno več dihalnih težav kot pri ženskah, ki temu dimu niso izpostavljeneTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaInštitut za varovanje zdravja RS
