There is controversy as to whether low levels of air pollution affect the symptoms and lung
function in asthma. We addressed this by examining the short-term effects of winter air …

In a previous panel study in Paris, France, detrimental effects of moderately high levels of
winter air pollution on the symptoms and lung function of asthmatic children were …

Short-term effects of air pollution (consisting primarily of sulphur dioxide and particulate
matter but with low acidity) on respiratory morbidity were studied in asthmatic children from …

Background. Asthma, a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways, is associated with
reversible airway obstruction and hyperresponsiveness to triggers; clinical symptoms …

Objective As the results from epidemiological studies about the impact of outdoor air
pollution on asthma in children are heterogeneous, our objective was to investigate the …

We studied the short-term effects of Paris winter air pollution (ie, sulfur dioxide, Black Smoke,
suspended particulates with an aerodynamic diameter close to 10 μm, and nitrogen dioxide) …

Background: It is well established that short-term exposure to ambient air pollutants can
exacerbate asthma, the role of early life or long-term exposure is less clear. We assessed …

Indoor air pollution is increasingly recognized as a significant risk for respiratory illness,
particularly in vulnerable populations. Thirty-six children aged 6–14 years with …

Background Exposure to ambient air pollution and bronchiolitis are risk factors for asthma.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of air pollution on the development of …

Objective: In recent years, air pollutant concentrations in Japan have decreased slightly;
however, there are growing concerns about the influences of transnational air pollution on …
