Long-term exposure to air pollution and asthma hospitalisations in older adults: a cohort study.
BACKGROUND Exposure to air pollution in early life contributes to the burden of childhood asthma, but it is not clear whether long-term exposure to air pollution can lead to asthma onset or progression in adulthood. OBJECTIVES The authors studied the effect of exposure to traffic-related air pollution over 35 years on the risk for asthma hospitalisation in older people. METHODS 57 053 parti...
متن کاملPollution levels and the effect of air pollution on asthma hospitalisations modified by synoptic weather type and aeroallergens
Pollution levels and the effect of air pollution on human health can be modified by synoptic weather type and aeroallergens. We investigated the effect modification of aeroallergens on the association between CO, O3, NO2, SO2, PM10 and PM2.5 and asthma hospitalisation rates in seven synoptic weather types using single air pollutant models, adjusted for the effect of aeroallergens and stratified...
متن کاملA population based time series analysis of asthma hospitalisations in Ontario, Canada: 1988 to 2000
BACKGROUND Asthma is a common yet incompletely understood health problem associated with a high morbidity burden. A wide variety of seasonally variable environmental stimuli such as viruses and air pollution are believed to influence asthma morbidity. This study set out to examine the seasonal patterns of asthma hospitalisations in relation to age and gender for the province of Ontario over a p...
متن کاملDesigning and Implementing an Asthma Management System Based on Air Pollution Data
Introduction: Asthma is an untreatable but manageable disease that has increased dramatically during the last fifty years due to contamination of the surrounding environment with triggers such as air pollution and has become one of the common chronic diseases throughout the world. Researchers consider allergies and environmental stimuli to be one of the essential components of asthma management...
متن کاملA NONLINEAR MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR ASTHMA: EFFECT OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
In this paper, we explore a nonlinear mathematical model to study the spread of asthma due to inhaled pollutants from industry as well as tobacco smoke from smokers in a variable size population. The model is analyzed using stability theory of differential equations and computer simulation. It is shown that with an increase in the level of air pollutants concentration, the asthmatic (diseased) ...
