title: [Air pollution and respiratory disease in children. Experience in Cartagena].
abstract: Studies on air pollution (SO2) and their influence on respiratory diseases in children conducted in Cartagena are reviewed and compared with those from other spanish cities. In Cartagena we find a weak relation between SO2 levels and number of children admitted to hospital for asthma attack. Indoor pollution is stressed, specially smoking of mother.
