Abstract

During the period July 1979 to June 1982 the frequency of children living in districts of Berlin (West) with different load of air pollution and suffering from obstructive diseases of the airways were investigated (FEGELER, MOYZES, WEDLER, EBERHARD 1985). The data basis was the patients’ rate of those children living in the 75% supply areas (SAH) of the Neukolln children’s hospital (NK) and the Rittberg children’s hospital (RK) (Fig. 1). The air pollution load of 75% SAH NK was average higher than that of RK. Air pollution was registered by 31 measuring points representing the Berlin air quality measuring network (BLUME). The values of each measuring point were representative for a nearly 16 km2 area (BLUME-area).
