Abstract Introduction and Objective. Numerous epidemiologic studies have reported
increased risk of allergic rhinitis and asthma in relation to 'western life-style', which …

Purpose This study evaluated the relationship of living near to main roads to allergic
diseases, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), allergic sensitization, and lung function in …

Objective A number of studies show an association between traffic-related air pollution and
adverse respiratory health effects in children. However, most evidence relates to the regions …

Background Traffic proximity has been associated with adverse respiratory health outcomes.
Less is known about the combined impact of residential and school exposures on pediatric …

Although there has been suggestive evidence of the association between TRAP and ADs,
findings remained inconsistent possibly due to limited population. We investigated the …

Background: Higher prevalences of allergic diseases and IgE antibodies to inhalant
allergens have been reported for persons living in urban areas than for persons living in …

Background While several studies suggest that traffic-related air pollutants are detrimental
for respiratory health, few studies have examined relationships between residential …

Background: A number of epidemiological studies suggest that the risk of asthma is
increased among those living in close proximity to major roads. However, the evidence is …

Objectives: Exposure to traffic-related air pollutants plays a role in several health outcomes.
A large body of evidence tends to link asthma in children with traffic exposure. Increasing …

BACKGROUND: Proximity to roadways increases the risk of asthma in developed countries;
however, relatively little is known about this relationship in developing countries, where …
