The contribution of motorized traffic to air pollution is widely recognized, but relatively few studies have looked at the respi- ratorv health status of subiects living near busv roads. We studihd children in six areas located nuear major kotonvays in the Netherlands. We measured lung function in the children, and we assessed their exposure to traffic-related air pollution using separate traffic counts for automobiles and trucks. We also measured air pollution in the children's schools. Lung function was associated with truck traffic density but had a
