摘要：
The study described was conducted to assess the relationship between pollution levels and hospital emergency room visits in an industrial town. Air pollution and temperature data were collected from instruments located centrally, near the hospital. These analyses, also subject to the limitations mentioned, demonstrate at most a limited association between pollutant levels and emergency room visits for respiratory diseases.
