Grant Activity:
Wearing masks to reduce traffic-related air pollution exposure and improve children's respiratory health
Purpose:
Vietnamese children are heavily exposed to traffic-related air pollution(TRAP), especially when travelling to and from school. Such exposure increases the risk of acute and chronic respiratory diseases, such as pneumonia and asthma, and of hospitalization. We aim to develop the capacity of Vietnamese researchers to measure exposure to TRAP, assess the effect of TRAP exposure on respiratory health and to undertake a randomized control trial of wearing a mask to reduce TRAP exposure.
