External Environmental Pollution as a Risk Factor for Asthma

Jose Chatkin et al.

Summary: Air pollution is a concerning risk factor for global morbidity and mortality, playing a special role in respiratory conditions. Pollutants induce various respiratory symptoms and significantly impact asthma outcomes. Factors such as modern lifestyle, socioeconomic status, and age play different roles in environmental exposure and health impacts.

Positive association between outdoor air pollution and the incidence and severity of COVID-19. A review of the recent scientific evidences

Montse Marques et al.

Summary: Most studies suggest that chronic exposure to certain air pollutants may lead to more severe and deadly forms of COVID-19, delaying patient recovery. There is a significant association between chronic exposure to various outdoor air pollutants and the incidence/risk of COVID-19 cases, as well as the severity/mortality of the disease.

Environmental factors linked to hospital admissions in young children due to acute viral lower respiratory infections: A bidirectional case-crossover study

Alejandro Alvaro-Meca et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the association between short-term exposure to environmental factors and hospital admissions for acute viral lower respiratory infections in children under two years old. The results showed that lower temperature, higher relative humidity, and higher concentrations of NO2, SO2, O-3, and PM10 were associated with increased odds of hospital admissions for viral ALRI.

J. A. Adame et al.

Summary: Surface ozone trends observed at El Arenosillo observatory for the last 22 years (2000-2021) show a significant increase of background ozone. The study also explores the impact of surface temperature trends and weather pattern shifts on ozone trends. Monthly and daily hourly variations in surface ozone trends are also investigated.

Short-term exposure to ambient air pollution and pneumonia hospital admission among patients with COPD: a time-stratified case-crossover study

Wenfeng Lu et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between short-term exposure to ambient air pollution and pneumonia hospital admission among patients with COPD. The results showed significantly positive associations between short-term exposure to PM2.5, SO2, NO2, and O-3 and pneumonia hospital admission among COPD patients.

Association of ambient ozone with pneumonia hospital admissions in Hong Kong and Taipei: A tale of two Southeast Asian cities

Hong Qiu et al.

Summary: The study reveals that short-term O-3 exposure is associated with pneumonia hospitalizations, with harvesting effects observed in different age groups and cities. An increase in the daytime 8-hour mean O-3 concentration by an interquartile range over 0-6 lag days in Hong Kong is linked to a 7.04% increase in elderly pneumonia hospital admissions, while the corresponding increase in Taipei is 3.41%.

Risk and Resilience: How Is the Health of Older Adults and Immigrant People Living in Canada Impacted by Climate- and Air Pollution-Related Exposures?

McKenzie H. Tilstra et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the health impacts of climate change and air pollution on older adults and immigrant populations in Canada, finding that older adults in Canada face health risks due to exposure to climate and air pollution, while there is limited information on the health impacts experienced by immigrant communities. Further research is needed to understand the factors influencing risk and resilience in these populations.

Cumulative Effects of Particulate Matter Pollution and Meteorological Variables on the Risk of Influenza-Like Illness

Kacper Toczylowski et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the association between air pollutants, meteorological variables, and ILI, finding an exponential relationship between cumulative PM2.5 pollution and ILI incidence. Pollution had the greatest effect during the same week and increased ILI risk for the following four weeks. Other factors such as low air temperatures, low absolute humidity, and high wind speed also increased the risk of ILI.

Defining the seasonality of respiratory syncytial virus around the world: National and subnational surveillance data from 12 countries

Lisa Staadegaard et al.

Summary: The study found that RSV epidemics mainly occur in winter in most temperate countries, lasting 10-21 weeks. More variation in seasonality was observed in (sub)tropical countries, with substantial differences at a subnational level. There was no clear association between epidemic timing and the dominant RSV subtype.

Impact of inhaled pollutants on response to viral infection in controlled exposures

Meghan E. Rebuli et al.

Summary: Air pollutants pose a major risk to global health by increasing the likelihood of disease, hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality. There is limited understanding of the causal linkages and mechanisms by which pollutant exposure may alter human respiratory responses to viral infection, despite various associative studies linking adverse outcomes to co- or subsequent exposures to inhaled pollutants and viruses. More research is needed to fully comprehend the impact of pollutant exposure on antiviral host defense responses.
