dc.description.abstractLiving or working along a main road with high traffic is harmful to health. The results of a logistic regression model show the presence of cough and itchy nose are highly significantly associated with location. The study shows there is a difference in the risk of respiratory symptoms working near traffic island roundabouts and outside roundabouts (defined as a traffic circle or road junction at which traffic moves in one direction around a central island to reach the converging roads). For the three roundabouts in the study (located downtown), with the most companies in town, there is heavy traffic observed especially at hours when businesses return to service.en
