Objective: Airborne pollutants with adjuvant effect, called airborne adjuvants, may promote IgE-sensitisation and development of allergic airway diseases. Smoking and occupational allergen exposures were reviewed to establish a general and verified framework for hazard identification and risk assessment of adjuvant effects of airborne pollutions. Methods: The relative risks and the attributable risks of adjuvant effect of smoking were determined for co-exposures with green coffee and castor beans, ispaghula, senna, psyllium, flour and grain dust, latex, laboratory animals, seafood, enzymes, platinum salts, organic anhydrides, or reactive dyes. Results: Adjuvant effects of smoking depended on the types of allergen, but not on whether sensitisation or allergy was promoted by atopy-the hereditarily increased ability to increase IgE formation. Conclusion: Promotion of IgE sensitisation in humans and in animals may serve for hazard identification of adjuvant effects. Risk assessment has been based mainly on epidemiological studies, which are sensitive to confounding factors. This highlights the need to develop appropriate animal models for risk assessment.
