Effects of personal air pollution exposure on asthma symptoms, lung function and airway inflammation

Conclusions and clinical relevanceWe did not find compelling evidence that air pollution exposure impacts on day‐to‐day clinical control in an unselected asthma population, but further studies are required in larger populations with higher exposure levels. Women may be more susceptible than men to the effects of air pollution, an observation which requires confirmation in future studies.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
