Air pollution exposure significantly increases pediatric upper respiratory tract infection visits to Emergency Departments.
Higher levels of carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide independently predicted increased admissions for upper respiratory tract infections.
Observational analysis from 2015 to 2020 tracked 2,572 ED visits for upper respiratory tract infections in children.
These findings suggest air quality improvements may reduce hospital visits for pediatric respiratory issues, emphasizing pollution control.
