Effects of Particulate Matter on the Pulmonary Function and Acute Exacerbation of COPD and Asthma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Particulate matter(PM) exposure has been shown to increase the morbidity and mobility of a variety of respiratory diseases, including COPD and asthma. This study focus on the effects of PM on the pulmonary function and acute exacerbation of COPD and asthma patients in China, where PM exposure is much heavier than the United States and European countries.

Detailed Description
Particulate matter(PM) exposure has been shown to increase the morbidity and mobility of a variety of respiratory diseases, including COPD and asthma. This study focus on the effects of PM on the pulmonary function and acute exacerbation of COPD and asthma patients in China, where PM exposure is much heavier than the United States and European countries. This study is an observational study which lasts 3 years. Primary outcome measures:Change in spirometry (FEV1) of COPD, asthma patients and healthy volunteers in response to different exposure doses of PM.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in spirometry (FEV1) of COPD, asthma patients and healthy volunteers in response to different exposure doses of PM. [2 years]
Spirometry will be assessed at baseline and through study completion, an average of 2 years.
Secondary Outcome Measures
