A Poisson regression allowing for seasonal patterns and meteorological conditions was used to assess the associations between the number of Hospital admissions and the three pollutants: nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and inhalable particles (measured as PM<jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub>, particles &lt;\u200a10\u2003\u00b5m in aerodynamic diameter).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold> A total of 1217 children under 15\u2003years of age were admitted for asthma during the study period. The calculated annual hospitalization rates were 283 and 178 per 100\u2003000 for boys and girls, respectively.
