This article discusses the relationship between air temperature and childhood respiratory diseases in Shanghai, China. The study found that extreme air temperatures, both indoors and outdoors, were associated with a higher prevalence of respiratory diseases in children. High indoor temperatures were linked to longer durations of common colds, while high outdoor temperatures were associated with a higher prevalence of pneumonia. The study suggests that large differences between indoor and outdoor temperatures should be avoided to reduce the adverse effects on respiratory health. Other studies mentioned in the article also highlight the impact of temperature extremes on respiratory health and the importance of indoor air quality and ventilation in preventing respiratory illnesses.
