Particulate Matter Exposure and Lung Function

Description

This dataset contains demographic, environmental and respiratory data for 200 male adults (ages 40–75) to analyze factors affecting lung capacity. It contrasts populations across three distinct air-quality environments: a pristine high-altitude rural town, a suburban area with moderate air quality, and a highly industrialized urban region.
