Abstract The aim of the study was to detect possible environmental factors influencing the health of the less mobile population of preschool children. The relationship between outdoor exposure of the immediate 'micro-environment' where most of a preschool child's time is spent and the increased risk to respiratory ill health and allergies has been investigated in approximately 1000 children, aged 3-9 years. The findings suggest an increased risk of asthma (odds ratio OR = 1.8) and allergies (OR = 1.5) with exposure to traffic-attributable emmissions. Domestic heating-attributed emmissions were found to increase the risk to bronchitis-type illnesses (OR = 1.4).
