Abstract: Emissions from sawmills and wood-based factories have long been associated with ambient air pollution. The smoke and chemicals emitted by these factories have significantly affected human respiratory health. A study has been conducted to evaluate spirometric lung function of a total of 200 kindergarten children, aged 5 and 6 years living near sawmills and wood-based factories as well as children living in residential areas further away from such factories in Terengganu. The respiratory symptoms were surveyed (questionnaires) and the lung function (VC, FVC, FEV1) measured using a spirometer.
