ABSTRACT
In the area of a Swiss town (Biel) and its surroundings, cases of various acute respiratory illnesses among children were recorded and correlated with measured parameters of weather and air pollution (sulfur dioxide, dust) during a period of 17 months. An increase in cases was noted during the fall and winter months, involving low temperatures, high humidity and weather conditions with northerly synoptic winds. Also, correlation of the cases to SO2 deposition values revealed a significant connection that may possibly be simulated by identical seasonal changes. No significant connection could be found between concentrations of SO2 or dust values and frequency of illness.
