Abstract

Many environmental factors have been investigated to determine their involvement in the asthma epidemic. We sought to investigate the indoor environment of English children. The Indoor Pollutants, Endotoxin, Allergens, Damp and Asthma in Manchester (IPEADAM) study recruited 200 asthmatic and age-, sex-, and sibship size-matched nonasthmatic children after a questionnaire-based community screening epidemiology survey. Their homes were sampled for several indoor air factors, and reservoir dust samples were obtained. Endotoxin, Der p 1, and dampness levels were assayed. Questionnaires were administered to record housing characteristics. Indoor pollutants, including environmental tobacco smoke, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, temperature, and relative humidity, were investigated. STATA univariate and multivariate analyses were used to compare the indoor environments of the children. The levels of endotoxin (adjusted odds ratio, 1.88; 95% CI, 1.11-3.18; P=.018), living in a single-parent family (adjusted odds ratio, 3.89; 95% CI, 1.25-12.1; P=.019), redecoration in the living room (adjusted odds ratio, 3.15; 95% CI, 1.36-7.33; P=.008), and self-reported absence of dampness (adjusted odds ratio, 0.36; 95% ...Continue Reading

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.

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.

Allergies & Environmental Factors

Environmental factors are strongly associated with the prevalence of allergies and are an increasing health concern worldwide. Discover the latest research on Allergies and Environmental Factors here.
