In a research conducted by the Australian researchers on the effect of air quality on health, it has been disclosed that one in 25 children hospitalized for asthma happen to be the victim of harmful particles from the air pollution and for the adults, one in 30 are hospitalized because of the exposure to nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere.

The primary aim of the study was to improve the check on health due to the climate change and to judge the current mix of pollutants in air and the extent to which it can prove to be fatal to result into an asthma attack.

Adrian Webster, spokesman from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, commented that to draw a relationship between air pollution and asthma was a task full of complexities and had an objective to encourage other scientists to come up with reasonable conclusion to the same, to prompt them to find about the issue. He further added that the research can be made stronger if a standardized method of measuring the effect is developed.

Professor Jalaludin said in consensus that using the standardized measure will prove to be useful in predicting the amount of deaths, the number of visits to the emergency department and hospitalization which could be evaded if the air pollution is decreased.
