OBJECTIVE: To examine associations between ambient air pollutants and respiratory outcomes among schoolchildren in Durban, South Africa. METHODS: ) and other pollutants were monitored at other sites.

Our findings are strongly suggestive of industrial pollution-related adverse respiratory health effects among these children.
