   摘要
   在快速工业化的现代中国，随着快节奏的城市化进程和不断增加的能源消耗，工业和机动车尾气排放导致的室内和室外空气污染水平迅速增加。因此，呼吸道症状如咳嗽、气喘和肺功能减低的发生率显著增加。暴露实验研究和流行病学研究表明悬浮颗粒、臭氧、二氧化氮和环境烟草烟雾暴露对呼吸道疾病的发展存在有害影响，且与咳嗽和气喘的发生显著相关。本综述主要讨论了空气污染物对肺健康的影响，特别是对于咳嗽，以及空气污染物与微生物和空气污染物来源间的联系。我们主要关注周围环境和室内环境空气污染水平高于世界卫生组织推荐的有关中国城市的研究。

Abstract
With fast-paced urbanization and increased energy consumption in rapidly industrialized modern China, the level of outdoor and indoor air pollution resulting from industrial and motor vehicle emissions has been increasing at an accelerated rate. Thus, there is a significant increase in the prevalence of respiratory symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and decreased pulmonary function. Experimental exposure research and epidemiological studies have indicated that exposure to particulate matter, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and environmental tobacco smoke have a harmful influence on development of respiratory diseases and are significantly associated with cough and wheeze. This review mainly discusses the effect of air pollutants on respiratory health, particularly with respect to cough, the links between air pollutants and microorganisms, and air pollutant sources. Particular attention is paid to studies in urban areas of China where the levels of ambient and indoor air pollution are significantly higher than World Health Organization recommendations.
