The relationship between air particulate levels and upper respiratory disease in soldiers deployed to Bosnia (1997-1998).

Abstract:

:The objective of this study was to determine whether there was a relationship between levels of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 10 microns (PM10) and upper respiratory disease (URD) rates in soldiers deployed to Bosnia in 1997 and 1998. PM10 levels were divided into quartiles and upper and lower 50th percentiles. When all camps were combined, there was a statistically significant association between the PM10 maximum level and URD rates based on Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests, and the Pearson correlation was statistically significant. Although the relationship was not statistically significant in analyses conducted of the individual camps, the average URD rate increased with each quartile of PM10 maximum exposure. There was no statistically significant association between PM10 average exposure and URD rates, although the average URD rate increased with each quartile of PM10 average exposure. Although these results are not conclusive, there appears to be a relationship between PM10 levels and URD rates in soldiers deployed to Bosnia in 1997 and 1998.
