Home air quality linked to breathing trouble in kids with lung condition
NCT ID NCT04107701
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined how indoor air quality impacts breathing symptoms and lung function in 165 school-aged children (6-12 years old) who were born prematurely and have bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease. Researchers measured respiratory symptoms and lung function, and compared them to home environmental exposures. The goal was to understand which indoor factors might worsen breathing problems in these children.
