Resumo: | [ENG] Background: Indoor air quality (IAQ) is considered an important determinant of human health. The association between exposure to volatile organic compounds, particulate matter, house dust mite, molds and bacteria in day care centers (DCC) is not completely clear. The aim of this project was to study these effects. Methods - study design: This study comprised two phases. Phase I included an evaluation of 45 DCCs (25 from Lisbon and 20 from Oporto, targeting 5161 children). In this phase, building characteristics, indoor CO2 and air temperature/relative humidity, were assessed. A children’srespiratory health questionnaire derived from the ISAAC (International Study on Asthma and Allergies in Children) was also distributed. Phase II encompassed two evaluations and included 20 DCCs selected from phase I after a cluster analysis (11 from Lisbon and 9 from Oporto, targeting 2287 children). In this phase, data on ventilation, IAQ, thermal comfort parameters, respiratory and allergic health, airway inflammation biomarkers, respiratory virus infection patterns and parental and child stress were collected. Results: In Phase I, building characteristics, occupant behavior and ventilation surrogates were collected from all DCCs. The response rate of the questionnaire was 61.7% (3186 children). Phase II included 1221 children. Association results between DCC characteristics, IAQ and health outcomes will be provided in order to support recommendations on IAQ and children’s health. A building ventilation model will also be developed. Discussion: This paper outlines methods that might be implemented by other investigators conducting studies on the association between respiratory health and indoor air quality at DCC. |

A associação entre a exposição a compostos orgânicos voláteis, partículas, ácaros, bolores e bactérias em creches (DCC) não é perfeitamente clara. O objectivo deste estudo foi estudar esses efeitos. Metodologia --- desenho do estudo: Este estudo decorreu em duas Fases. A Fase I incluiu uma avaliação de 45 DCCs (25 em Lisboa e 20 no Porto, visando 5.161 crianças). Nesta Fase, foram avaliadas as características dos edifícios, o CO2 e a temperatura ambiente/humidade relativa no interior. Também foi distribuído um questionário de saúde respiratória das crianc¸as derivado do ISAAC (Estudo Internacional sobre a Asma e Alergias em Crianc¸as). A Fase II englobou duas avaliaçõe e incluiu 20 DCCs seleccionadas da fase I, após uma análise de clusters (11 em Lisboa e 9 no Porto, visando 2.287 crianc¸as). Nesta Fase, foram recolhidos dados sobre a ventilação, IAQ (qualidade do ar interior), parâmetros de conforto térmico, saúde em termos respiratórios e alérgicos, marcadores biológicos de inflamac¸ão das vias respiratórias, padrões de infecc¸ão de vírus respiratórios e stress dos pais e crianças. Resultados: Na Fase I, foram recolhidas as características dos edifícios, o comportamento dos ocupantes e os marcadores de ventilação, para todas as DCCs. A taxa de resposta ao questionário foi de 61,7% (3.186 crianças). A Fase II incluiu 1.221 crianças. Os resultados da associação entre as características dos DCC, a IAQ e os resultados para a saúde serão fornecidos para apoiar as recomendac¸ões sobre a IAQ e a saúde das crianças. Um modelo de ventilação de edifícios também será desenvolvido. Discussão: Este documento destaca a metodologia que pode ser implementada por outros investigadores que realizam estudos sobre a associação entre a saúde respiratória e a qualidade do ar interior, em creches e infantários.Elsevier España (Elsevier Doyma)Repositório Científico do Instituto Nacional de SaúdeAraújo-Martins, J.Carreiro-Martins, P.Viegas, J.Aelenei, D.Cano, M.M.Teixeira, João PauloPaixão, P.Papoila, A.L.Leiria-Pinto, P.Pedro, C.Rosado-Pinto, J.Annesi-Maesano, I.Neuparth, N.2015-01-09T16:55:44Z2014-112014-11-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.18/2621engRev Port Pneumol. 2014 Nov-Dec;20(6):311-23. doi: 10.1016/j.rppneu.2014.02.006.
