Children in the warm rain forest are at risk of having their lung function compromised by a variety of factors, including smoke from wood fires. A total of 358 children from a fishing port and 400 children living in a farm settlement were tested to determine their peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1 ), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s per cent and forced expiratory flow between 25 and 75%. The values for the PEFR, FVC, FEV 1 , forced expiratory volume in 1 s per cent and forced expiratory flow between 25 and 75% of the subjects were significantly lower than those of the controls ( P  value for males = &lt;0.001, 0.01, 0.002, 0.01 and &lt;0.001, respectively, whereas for their female counterparts = &lt;0.001, 0.003, 0.001, 0.04 and &lt;0.001, respectively). These deficits were observed to be more with increasing duration of exposure to wood smoke for PEFR, FVC and FEV 1 .
