摘要

Background: Studies of the association between air pollution and asthma onset have mostly focused on urban and traffic-related air pollution. We investigated the associations between exposure to industrial emissions and childhood-onset asthma in a population-based birth cohort in Quebec, Canada, 2002-2011. Methods: The cohort was built from administrative health databases. We developed separately for PM2.5 and SO2 different metrics representing children's time-varying residential exposure to industrial emissions: 1) tons emitted yearly by all industries within 2.5 km; 2) distance to the nearest 'major emitter' (≥100 tons/year) within 7.5 km; 3) wind and inverse-distance weighted emissions of the nearest major emitter within 7.5 km. To handle the large number of zeros (i.e., children unexposed) we decomposed the exposure variable into two covariates simultaneously included in the regression model: A binary indicator of exposure and a continuous exposure variable centered at the mean value among exposed children. We performed Cox models using age as the time axis, adjusted for gender, material and social deprivation and calendar year. We indirectly adjusted for unmeasured secondhand smoke. Results: The cohort included 722,667 children and 66,559 incident cases of asthma. Across the different exposure metrics, mean percentage changes in the risk of asthma onset in children exposed to the mean relative to those unexposed ranged from 4.5% (95%CI: 2.8, 6.3%) to 10.6% (95%CI: 6.2, 15.2%) for PM2.5 and, from 1.1% (95%CI: -0.1, 3.3%) to 8.9% (95%CI: 7.1, 11.1%) for SO2. Indirect adjustment for secondhand smoke marginally influenced the associations. Among children exposed, the risk of asthma onset increased with the magnitude of the exposure for all metrics, except the distance to the nearest major emitter of SO2. Conclusion: In this population-based birth cohort, residential exposure to air pollutant emissions from industries was associated with childhood-onset asthma.
