Background. There is a dearth of information on the relationship between indoor air pollution and lung function, especially amongsub-Saharan African children.Objective. To assess particulate matter (PM) function in children living Eastern CapeProvince South Africa (SA).Methods. This cross-sectional study included 540 aged 10 - 14 years was conducted May September 2016. PMfrom 23 classrooms measured with handheld particle counter assessed spirometer.Results. Mean (standard deviation) PM5 levels were higher (109.96 (75.39) μg/m3) than PM10 (84.84 (63.28) PM2.5 (39.45(26.38) μg/m3). PM2.5, correlated negatively (p<0.05) forced expiratory volume 1 second (FEV1), vital capacity(FVC), FEV25-75, as well peak flow (PEF) but positively (p<0.001) FEV1/FVC ratio.Conclusion. PM showed negative population.
