The aim of this review is to summarize epidemiological studies on the relationship between air exposure to benzene and respiratory health among children and adolescents. To the best of our knowledge, no previous review on this topic has been published. An exhaustive search in on-line bibliographic databases (PubMed and Web of Science) was carried out in April 2014. We selected observational analytical studies with individual data analyzing outdoor, indoor and personal exposure to benzene, and their association with at least one respiratory18 岁以下儿童的健康结果。1999 年至 2014 年间发表的 14 篇论文被选中(其中 5 篇为室内论文,6 篇为室外论文,3 篇为个人暴露论文)。总体而言,研究中发现的苯暴露水平较低,范围在 1.5 至 24.8 μg/m 3之间。室内暴露高于室外和个人暴露。总体研究结果表明,苯暴露量的增加可能会损害 18 岁以下儿童的呼吸系统健康(哮喘、肺功能和肺部感染)。然而,由于方法和研究设计存在巨大差异,结果之间的比较受到阻碍。需要进一步的研究来扩大对苯对儿童时期呼吸系统健康影响的了解。
