Air Quality and Pediatric Health in Ohio

Ohio University Research Project - Air Quality and Pediatric Health in Ohio

The Air Quality and Pediatric Health in Ohio study is a comprehensive health-based study evaluating the impact of air pollution on children and the general population in Ohio.

Air quality data was obtained from Ohio EPA and newly created monitoring sites at elementary schools in Columbus, New Albany, and Athens Ohio. Health information data was obtained from the Ohio Hospital Association, local hospitals (emergency room admissions), and non-invasive medical monitoring at the three elementary schools.  The three components of the project include a prospective analysis of air quality in the region and the corresponding impact on respiratory health, a retrospective analysis of air quality across the State and the corresponding impact on respiratory health, and an analysis of ambient, indoor, and personal air toxic concentrations.
