Outdoor air pollution is one of the leading contributors to adverse respiratory health
outcomes in urban areas around the world. Children are highly sensitive to the adverse …

Air pollution exposure is a well-established risk factor for several adverse respiratory
outcomes, including airways diseases and lung cancer. Few studies have investigated the …

Breath tests cover the fraction of nitric oxide in expired gas (F ENO), volatile organic
compounds (VOCs), variables in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) and other …

Background Exhaled nitric oxide concentration (FENO) is a marker of airway inflammation.
This study aimed to evaluate the association of air pollution exposure with FENO levels and …

Nitric oxide (NO) is endogenously released in the airways, and the fractional concentration
of NO in exhaled breath (FeNO) is now recognized as a surrogate marker of eosinophilic …

Background Although there is evidence on the effects of short-term ozone (O 3) exposures
on children's respiratory health, few studies have reported results on the effects of long-term …

Introduction. The evidence about the association between asthma and outdoor
environmental factors has been inadequate for certain allergens. Even less is known about …

Asthma is a complex inflammatory disease with many triggers. The best understood asthma
inflammatory pathways involve signals characterized by peripheral eosinophilia and …

Mechanisms for the adverse respiratory effects of traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) have yet
to be established. We evaluated the acute effects of TRAP exposure on proximal and distal …

Air pollution has been associated with respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung malignancies. The aim of this narrative review is to …
