This article is a cohort method. It is related to my topic because it is looking at the effects of how air pollution in the younger years impact the prevalence of asthma in the adult years of life.Along with this, it also looks at the effects of short term exposure to air pollution simultaneously. This allows this study to look at both points of view, and works well in my results section due to this. It would fit well with my results especially with the short term results section, but the long term effects had some interesting results. They could prove that there was a positive relation between pollution and asthma, but they could not prove that it was significant enough to say it is correlated.

This article is a review of a cohort study. It is related to my topic because it is looking at the effects of air pollution and its effects on asthma in later life. It looks at this in five different areas of France. It also takes into account the amount of other environmental factors, such as tobacco smoke and allergies, which could have skewed the results otherwise. Along with this, it is looking at children ages 4 to 14. One thing that I found interesting about this article was that they factored their entire life exposure, including an assessed exposure amount to the participants for the years 0-3.

This article is a cohort study. The article is related to my topic because it is about the respiratory heath of children. They are looking at whether or not the effects of air pollution are different in an urban setting than in a non urban setting. They are also looking at the effects on children. One thing that I found somewhat interesting about this article was that there was a negligible difference between the two groups of children, and this is attributable to a few key factors.

This is a cohort study. This article is related to my topic because it is looking at the effects of long term air pollution on the lungs. They are looking to see if long term exposure will result in a higher likeliness to having asthma later in life. They are using the participants from a study done in the 80's, and they are using the data from that study to find the correllation to the prevalence of asthma. The thing that I found interesting about this article was that they are using data from such an old study.

This is a Cohort study. This article is related to my topic because it is looking at the effects on indoor air pollution on future respiratory health problems. This article looks at the indoor air pollution in 3rd world countries, and the problems that these people have later in life due to the smoke, and other indoor pollutants. I could use this in my results section to go over the effects of indoor pollution due to the fact that most of my other studies focus on outdoor pollutants like cars and factories. One thing that I found interesting in this article is that it looked at indoor, as none of my other articles did this.
