Asthma and the environment: do environmental factors affect the incidence and prognosis of asthma?

Toxicology Letters
J M Samet

Abstract

Rising mortality and prevalence rates for asthma in the United States and other countries have again raised concern that environmental agents, particularly air pollutants, may be responsible. While asthma has been linked to environmental causes and triggers, we still have not found specific agents underlying the increasing morbidity and mortality from the disease. Research may be strengthened by the identification of genes for asthma, leading to improved characterization of gene-environment interactions and by more accurate methods for exposure assessment.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
