Abstract:
Numerous contaminants in indoor air and their potential to cause or exacerbate asthma continue to be a subject of public health concern. Many agents are causally associated with or can exacerbate asthma, particularly in children. For formaldehyde, an established respiratory irritant based on numerous studies, the evidence for an association with asthma is still considered only limited or suggestive. However, there is no evidence that indicates increased sensitivity to sensory irritation to formaldehyde in people often regarded as susceptible such as asthmatics. Acrolein, but not formaldehyde, was significantly associated with asthma in a large cohort of children. This prompted an evaluation of this highly irritating chemical that had never previously been considered in the context of the indoor air/childhood asthma issue. Because acrolein is more potent than formaldehyde as a respiratory irritant and ubiquitous in indoor air, it is plausible that previous studies on potential risk factors and childhood asthma may be confounded by formaldehyde acting as an unrecognized proxy for acrolein.

Abstract:
Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by variable airflow obstruction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and airway inflammation. Evidence suggests that air pollution has a negative impact on asthma outcomes in both adult and pediatric populations. The aim of this review is to summarize the current knowledge on the effect of various outdoor and indoor pollutants on asthma outcomes, their burden on its management, as well as to highlight the measures that could result in improved asthma outcomes. Traffic-related air pollution, nitrogen dioxide and second-hand smoking (SHS) exposures represent significant risk factors for asthma development in children. Nevertheless, a causal relation between air pollution and development of adult asthma is not clearly established. Exposure to outdoor pollutants can induce asthma symptoms, exacerbations and decreases in lung function. Active tobacco smoking is associated with poorer asthma control, while exposure to SHS increases the risk of asthma exacerbations, respiratory symptoms and healthcare utilization. Other indoor pollutants such as heating sources and molds can also negatively impact the course of asthma. Global measures, that aim to reduce exposure to air pollutants, are highly needed in order to improve the outcomes and management of adult and pediatric asthma in addition to the existing guidelines.

Abstract:
AbstractEnvironmental factors which cause asthma are those that induce airway inflammation with eosinophils (more common) or neutrophils along with airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). The most common of these (indeed the most common cause of asthma) are IgE-mediated inhalant allergen exposures. Allergen-induced AHR and inflammation are both associated with the allergen-induced late asthmatic response (LAR). Although allergens were previously recognized only as causes of symptoms and bronchoconstriction in asthmatics, we now appreciate them as causes of the fundamental pathophysiologic features of asthma. Low-molecular-weight chemical sensitizers, causes of occupational asthma, also cause asthma in a manner analogous to allergen. Acute irritant-induced asthma (reactive airways dysfunction syndrome) following a very heavy irritant exposure and chronic irritant-induced asthma following repeated high exposures can also induce persistent or permanent changes (inflammation and AHR) consistent with asthma. Textile dust exposure produces a different form of airway disease (byssinosis) which is less frequently observed currently. Environmental exposure to tobacco smoke facilitates the development of asthma in children. Personal smoking and environmental air pollution have an inconsistent and likely generally small effect in causing asthma.

Abstract:
Perinatal exposure to ambient air pollution has been associated with childhood asthma incidence; however, less is known regarding the potential effect modifiers in this association. We examined whether maternal and infant characteristics modified the association between perinatal exposure to air pollution and development of childhood asthma.761 172 births occurring between 2006 and 2012 were identified in the province of Ontario, Canada. Associations between exposure to ambient air pollutants and childhood asthma incidence (up to age 6 years) were estimated using Cox regression models.110 981 children with asthma were identified. In models adjusted for postnatal exposures, second-trimester exposures to particulate matter with a 50% cut-off aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm (hazard ratio (HR) per interquartile range (IQR) increase 1.07, 95% CI 1.06–1.09) and nitrogen dioxide (HR per IQR increase 1.06, 95% CI 1.03–1.08) were associated with childhood asthma development. Enhanced impacts were found among children born to mothers with asthma, who smoked during pregnancy or lived in urban areas during pregnancy, males and children born preterm or of low birthweight.Prenatal exposure to air pollution may have a differential impact on the risk of asthma development, according to maternal and infant characteristics.

Abstract:
Objective: Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children. Short-acting bronchodilator medications are the most commonly prescribed asthma treatment worldwide, regardless of disease severity. Puerto Rican children display the high­est asthma morbidity and mortality of any US population. Alarmingly, Puerto Rican children with asthma display poor broncho­dilator drug response (BDR). Reduced BDR may explain, in part, the increased asthma morbidity and mortality observed in Puerto Rican children with asthma. Gene-environ­ment interactions may explain a portion of the heritability of BDR. We aimed to identify gene-environment interactions as­sociated with BDR in Puerto Rican children with asthma.Setting: Genetic, environmental, and psycho-social data from the Genes-environ­ments and Admixture in Latino Americans (GALA II) case-control study.Participants: Our discovery dataset con­sisted of 658 Puerto Rican children with asthma; our replication dataset consisted of 514 Mexican American children with asthma.Main Outcomes Measures: We assessed the association of pairwise interaction mod­els with BDR using ViSEN (Visualization of Statistical Epistasis Networks).Results: We identified a non-linear interac­tion between Native American genetic ancestry and air pollution significantly as­sociated with BDR in Puerto Rican children with asthma. This interaction was robust to adjustment for age and sex but was not significantly associated with BDR in our replication population.Conclusions: Decreased Native American ancestry coupled with increased air pollu­tion exposure was associated with increased BDR in Puerto Rican children with asthma. Our study acknowledges BDR’s phenotypic complexity, and emphasizes the importance of integrating social, environmental, and bi­ological data to further our understanding of complex disease.Ethn Dis. 2021;31(1):77- 88; doi:10.18865/ed.31.1.77

Abstract:
This investigation determined the effects of air pollution on childhood asthma hospitalization in regions with differing air pollution levels in Taiwan over a long time period. Data of childhood hospital admissions for asthma in patients aged 0–18 years and air quality in eight regions for the period 2001–2012 in Taiwan were collected. Poisson generalized linear regression analysis was employed to identify the relative risks of hospitalization due to asthma in children associated with exposure to varying levels of air pollutants with a change in the interquartile range after adjusting for temperature and relative humidity. Particulate matter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5), particulate matter ≤10 μm (PM10), ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), were positively associated with childhood asthma hospitalization, while O3 was negatively associated with childhood asthma hospitalization. SO2 was identified as the most significant risk factor. The relative risks for asthma hospitalization associated with air pollutants were higher among children aged 0–5 years than aged 6–18 years and were higher among males than females. The effects of air pollution on childhood asthma were greater in the higher-level air pollution regions, while no association was observed in the lower-level air pollution regions. These findings may prove important for policymakers involved in implementing policies to reduce air pollution.

Objective To determine factors influencing forced expiratory vol-ume in one second (FEV 1 ) reversibility in newly developed asthmain childrenMethods A cross sectional study was done on 52 patients aged 6-14 years who were recruited from a longitudinal study of 161 newlydeveloped asthmatic children. Pre and post-bronchodilator FEV 1were obtained to calculate the reversibility. Seven patients had toperform peak expiratory volume (PEV) variability before recruited.Some variables including sex, age, height, onset of asthma, fre-quency of asthma attacks at the time of the test were analyzed toevaluate their roles in the outcome of FEV 1 reversibility using pairedsample t-test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multi regres-sion analysis.Results Mean pre- and post-bronchodilator FEV 1 were 1.14 (SD0.24) and 1.31 (SD 0.28), respectively. FEV 1 reversibility rangedbetween 6%-36%. Bivariate analyses demonstrated significant cor-relation between either cough (p=0.031) or symptom-free (p=0.041)and the airway reversibility. Multivariate analysis showed that coughwas an important factor influencing airway reversibility (p=0.0246).Conclusion Cough is an important influencing factor of the air-way reversibility

Abstract:
In the real world, dynamic changes in air pollutants and meteorological factors coexist simultaneously. Studies identifying the effects of individual pollutants on acute exacerbation (AE) of asthma may overlook the health effects of the overall combination. A comprehensive study examining the influence of air pollution and meteorological factors is required. Asthma AE data from emergency room visits were collected from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Complete monitoring data for air pollutants (SO2; NO2; O3; CO; PM2.5; PM10) and meteorological factors were collected from the Environmental Protection Agency monitoring stations. A bi-directional case-crossover analysis was used to investigate the effects of air pollution and meteorological factors on asthma AE. Among age group divisions, a 1 °C temperature increase was a protective factor for asthma ER visits with OR = 0.981 (95% CI, 0.971–0.991) and 0.985 (95% CI, 0.975–0.994) for pediatric and adult patients, respectively. Children, especially younger females, are more susceptible to asthma AE due to the effects of outdoor air pollution than adults. Meteorological factors are important modulators for asthma AE in both asthmatic children and adults. When studying the effects of air pollution on asthma AE, meteorological factors should be considered.

Abstract:
Nobody can live without oxygen. What happens when you have a chronic disorder that prevents the oxygen from reaching your lungs? This condition is called asthma and affects millions of people. Symptoms might be from a wheezing to a severe asthma attack with airways obstruction. It is difficult, above all for children, to accept a condition that might unexpectedly come anytime.   The Super-air inhaler is thought as a Super Hero, the worship the child has for the Hero will make the child feel strong and he will not feel ashamed of using it when having an attack. The inhaler has also been designed to make it easy for the child to take his medicine during the day and at night time too.

Abstract:
Background: Exposure to indoor air pollutants has been associated with poorer respiratory health in children. This study investigates the respiratory health of Malaysian schoolchildren in relation to indoor air pollution. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 2,164 schoolchildren aged 10-11 years in urban and semi-rural schools. Parents completed a questionnaire and concentrations of air pollutants were measured in schools. SHS exposure was assessed using salivary cotinine. Results: The WHO Air Quality Guideline for PM2.5 was exceeded for most of the semi-rural schools while almost all of the urban schools exceeded the annual exposure limit for NO2. The Geometric Mean salivary cotinine concentrations for non-smoking schoolchildren were 0.47 ng/ml. The 3 main predictors of nocturnal cough were the presence of a current smoker at home (OR 1.97; 95% CI: 1.31-2.96), the absence of exhaust system in the kitchen (OR 1.67; 95% CI: 1.03-2.68) and the use of air conditioning (OR 3.10; 95% CI: 1.37-5.71). Exposure to SHS of ≥4 hours per day (OR 2.53; 95% CI: 1.55-4.14) explained approximately 6.0% of the likelihood of reporting doctor-diagnosed asthma. For the measure of asthma severity, NO2 and log average family size were the 2 predictors of limited speech during wheeze; NO2 concentrations of >50 μg/m3 contributes an OR of 5.98 (95% CI: 1.02-34.9) and log average family size with an OR of 14.6 (95% CI: 1.70-126). Conclusion: This study has identified that many Malaysian schoolchildren experience exposure to air pollution indoors that exceeds WHO guidance limits for several pollutants. There was no clear relationship between traffic-generated air pollutants and children’s respiratory health but there was a strong relationship between the number of hours children were exposed to SHS and asthma. There is a need for increased enforcement of existing smoke-free legislation and policies to reduce children’s exposure to SHS.

Abstract:
Objective Large quantities of epidemiological studies manifest that indoor and outdoor air pollutants may trigger and aggravate asthma symptoms, whose mechanism, however, has not been completely made clear yet. As shown by the result of the experiment in which in-vitro cells and animals are exposed to high-density air pollution, the triggering effect of air pollution on asthma is associated with inflammatory reaction, IgE expression and regulation pathways. However, there is a lack of evidence from population studies to support that association. This study plans to conduct continuous monitoring over indoor and outdoor air pollutants facing the asthmatic children from Beijing with a view to carry out an overall assessment of their exposure to air pollutants. Meanwhile, biomarkers which are directly reflecting airway inflammation as well as the signal molecules which are related to IgE expression and regulation are monitored. The next step is to establish an exposure-effect relationship to explore the trigger effect of air pollutants on childhood asthma. Methods 1. Questionnaires were used to collect general information (including age, drug use, indoor home decoration, passive smoking, diet during the study, indoor mildew, allergic history, history of diseases and family heredity history) in 60 asthmatic children (males, Han nationality, aged 5 to 14 years)from Beijing who were recruited into this study. 2. A comprehensive evaluation was conducted on their exposure levels of air pollutants by continuous monitoring of indoor PM2.5, black carbon, benzene, toluene, xylene and formaldehyde in their houses and collecting monitoring data with respect to PM2.5, PM10, NO2and SO2at air quality monitoring sites near their houses. Benzene, toluene and xylene were measured by two-stage thermal desorption-gas chromatography (GC), formaldehyde by AHMT spectrophotometry, mass concentration of PM2.5by gravimetric method, black carbon in PM2.5by multi-wavelength absorption spectroscopy. The concentration data of ambient outdoor air pollutants were available from the real-time air quality publishing platform of Beijing Municipal Environmental Monitoring Center. 3. Exhaled FeNO of asthmatic children were taken as biomarkers reflecting their airway inflammation. FeNO was measured by electrochemical method (off-line monitoring). 4. Trigger effect of air pollution on IgE signaling pathway of asthmatic children was investigated by determining signal molecules of two signaling pathways related to IgE expression and regulation in peripheral serum. Signal molecules were determined by ELISA. 5. Confounding factors were controlled by stratification analysis and multiple linear regression model, and a comprehensive analysis was conducted of the triggering effect of air pollution on children asthma. Results 1. During the research, as for subjects, concentrations of indoor PM2.5, BC, formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, m-, p-and o-xylenes were 55.3±29.9 μg/m3, 3.8±1.4 μg/m3,62.2±42.7 μg/m3, 13.1±15.9 μg/m3, 18.7±16.7 μg/m3, 7.9±7.9 μg/m3and 3.1±5.0 μg/m3, respectively. The7-day weighted average concentrations of outdoor PM2.5, PM10, SO2and NO2were 101.3±87.6μg/m3, 152.8±88.4μg/m3, 48.6±39.8 μg/m3and 63.1±27.7μg/m3, respectively. There was a significant correlation between 7-day weighted average concentrations of indoor and outdoor PM2.5 simultaneously (r=0.697, P<0.001), with a indoor/outdoor PM2.5concentration ratio (I/O ratio) of 0.86±0.39 (P25-P75ranging from 0.62 to 1.01). 2. After adjusting for such influencing factors as age, types of asthma, and season, analysis of all subjects found that FeNO was significantly positively correlated with either benzene in indoor air, or PM2.5, SO2and NO2 in ambient outdoor air. Separate analysis of subjects untreated with inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) found that FeNO was significantly positively correlated with PM2.5, SO2and NO2 in ambient outdoor air, while this correlation was not significant in the ICS-treated group. 3. In serum, there was a significantly positive correlation between signal molecules in the two regulatory pathways of IgE expression. After adjusting for such influencing factors as age, types of asthma, and passive smoking. No effect of air pollutants on level of signaling molecule was observed in this study. Conclusion Monitoring results of indoor and outdoor air pollutants show that, at a high level of exposure to air pollutants, exposure of asthmatic children to indoor and outdoor air pollutants may cause or aggravate the airway inflammation. Administration of ICSs can control or attenuate the airway inflammation caused by air pollutants in asthmatic children, while the level of signaling molecule in the regulatory pathway of IgE expression in serum may not be an ideal marker for reflecting the trigger effect of air pollution on children asthma.

Abstract:
Case-crossover and time series analyses were used to assess associations between ambient air pollutants and asthma hospitalization among children 6--12 years of age living in Toronto between 1981 and 1993. Exposures averaged over periods varying from one to seven days were used. The results from bi-directional case-crossover and time series analyses were similar. Coarse particulate matter (PM10--2.5) was significantly associated with asthma hospitalization in both males and females. The data showed no significant effects of fine (PM2.5) and thoracic (PM10) particulate matter on asthma hospitalizations. Gaseous pollutants, including carbon dioxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) were significantly related to asthma hospitalization in males or females or both sexes, but ozone (O3) was not. These studies provide strong evidence for asthma hospitalization in children in relation to relatively low levels of ambient air pollution, and suggest that reducing current ambient levels of air pollution will have important population health benefits.

Abstract:
Background: Lower respiratory illnesses (LRIs) and asthma are common diseases in children < 5 years of age. Few studies have investigated the relationships between multiple, home-based social and environmental risk factors and asthma and LRIs in children. Of those that have, none have focused exclusively on children < 5 years of age, who are more physiologically vulnerable and spend more time at home compared to older children. Further, no studies have done so at the community level. Methods: We modeled relationships between emergency department visits and hospitalization rates for asthma and LRIs for children < 5 years and geographic risk factors, including socio-economic and housing characteristics, ambient air pollution levels, and population density in Maricopa and Pima Counties, Arizona, from 2005 to 2009. We used a generalized linear model with a negative binomial observation distribution and an offset for the population of very young children in each tract. To reduce multicollinearity among predictors, socio-economic characteristics, and ambient air pollutant levels were combined into unit-less indices using the principal components analysis (PCA). Housing characteristics variables did not exhibit moderate-to-high correlations and thus were not included in PCA. Spatial autocorrelation among regression model residuals was assessed with the Global Moran's I test. Results: Following the regression analyses, almost all predictors were significantly related to at least one disease outcome. Lower socio-economic status (SES) and reduced population density were associated with asthma hospitalization rates and both LRI outcomes (p values < 0.001). After adjusting for differences between counties, Pima County residence was associated with lower asthma and LRI hospitalization rates. No spatial autocorrelation was found among multiple regression model residuals (p values > 0.05). Conclusions: Our study revealed complex, multi-factorial associations between predictors and outcomes. Findings indicate that many rural areas with lower SES have distinct factors for childhood respiratory diseases that require further investigation. County-wide differences in maternal characteristics or agricultural land uses (not tested here) may also play a role in Pima County residence protecting against hospitalizations, when compared to Maricopa County. By better understanding this and other relationships, more focused public health interventions at the community level could be developed to reduce and better control these diseases in children < 5 years, who are more physiologically vulnerable.

Abstract:
Childhood asthma is a significant public health problem in the United States. Barriers to effective asthma management in children include the need for caregivers to identify and manage diverse environmental triggers and promote appropriate use of preventive asthma medications. Although health care providers may introduce asthma treatments and care plans, many providers lack the time and capacity to educate caregivers about asthma in an ongoing, sustained manner. To help address these complexities of asthma care, many providers and caregivers rely on patient navigators (defined as persons who provide patients with a particular set of services and who address barriers to care) (Dohan & Schrag, 2005). Despite growing interest in their value for chronic disease management, researchers and providers know little about how or what benefits patient navigators can provide to caregivers in managing asthma in children. To explore this issue, we conducted a mixed-method evaluation involving focus groups and a survey with caregivers of children with moderate-to-severe asthma who were enrolled in the Merck Childhood Asthma Network Initiative (MCAN). Findings suggest that patient navigators may support children’s asthma management by providing individualized treatment plans and hands-on practice, improving caregivers’ understanding of environmental triggers and their mitigation, and giving clear, accessible instructions for proper medication management. Study results may help to clarify and further develop the role of patient navigators for the effective management of asthma in children.
