There has been little study on the effect of Asian dust exposure on respiratory symptoms
among children who are vulnerable to environmental factors. In this panel study, we …

Background Studies on the adverse effects of Asian dust (AD) on respiratory function in
children are scarce. The objective of this study was to examine the association between AD …

Background: The adverse health effects of Asian dust (AD) on the respiratory system of
children are unclear. We hypothesized that AD events may lead to increased visits by …

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible adverse effects of Asian dust events on
respiratory health in asthmatic children. Fifty-two children with mild asthma were studied for …

Background: Asian dust (AD) has become a major health concern. The concentration of AD
is typically expressed in particulate matter less than 10 μm (PM 10) and 2.5 μm (PM 2.5) …

Rationale: Desert dust particles, including quartz, which causes inflammatory responses in
the airway in animal studies, are transported to widespread regions around the globe …

Abstract The Asian Dust Storm (ADS) aggravates symptoms and pulmonary dysfunction in
adult asthma patients. Our objective was to investigate the association of air pollutants and …

The health effects associated with Asian dust have attracted attention due to the rapid
increase in the number of Asian dust events in East Asia in recent years. The aim of this …

Background The association between particulate matter (PM), including desert dust, and
allergic symptoms has not been well studied. We examined whether PM exacerbated …

Particulate matter (PM) and specifically, Asian dust (or yellow dust), have been identified as
critical causes of health problems. Recent increases in the levels of ambient PM are closely …
