[Study of the effects of air pollution on human health in Beijing].
3000 habitants from different polluted areas of Beijing were examined for their states of health in both the summer and the winter in 1989, and 7000 questionnaires were filled. Meanwhile, the data of air pollution surveillance during 1980 and 1988 were collected and analysed. The air pollutants in the areas have been identified. The results of the study showed that the effects of air pollution on human health in urban were more severely than that in suburb and rural area; the complaints of respiratory system were correlative with the level of pollution in the areas; and the index method is useful in the studies of the effects of multi-factor pollution of human health.
