Association between modelled traffic-related air pollution and asthma score in the ECRHS

Association between modelled traffic-related air pollution and asthma score in the ECRHS.

The aim of our analysis was to study the association between air pollution and asthma among adults. For this goal, a previously developed "asthma score" was used. Persons aged 25-44 yrs were randomly selected (1991-1993) and followed up (2000-2002) within the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS I and II, respectively). The asthma score was defined from 0 to 5, based on the posit...

Traffic-Related Air Pollution and Childhood Asthma

Assuming an average latency of 42 years, the authors predict that incidence rates will peak in 2009 and that diagnoses will peak in 2014. However, they caution that ongoing use of chrysotile asbestos (which has been implicated but not conclusively established as a cause of mesothelioma) and the release of asbestos fibers from older buildings during demolition or reno­ vation may slow the projec...

Can traffic-related air pollution cause asthma?

Traffic-related air pollution, genetics and asthma development in children.

quite well. In six of the seven false negative US examinations, chest CT identified malignancy based on parenchy-mal opacities, adenopathy or the identification of metastatic disease. Although well conducted, there are several methodological issues that may limit generalisability of the results. First, there was a high incidence of MPE (especially mesothelioma) in this study population. The pro...

relationship between air pollution, weather, traffic, and traffic-related mortality

results there was a significant positive correlation between increase in the monthly average temperature, the number of rainy days, and the number of frost days with the number of rta (p < 0.05). increased monthly average relative humidity, evaporation, and number of sunny days were negatively correlated with the frequency of rta (p < 0.05). we also observed an inverse significant correlation b...
