Relation between air pollution and allergic rhinitis in Taiwanese schoolchildren

[Guest guest]

Conclusions

The present study showed statistically significant relations between

exposure to outdoor air

pollutants and the prevalence of allergic rhinitis in schoolchildren. The

observed relations of

the risk of allergic rhinitis to NOx and CO levels suggest that emissions

from motor vehicles

play an important role. In addition, the relation to SO2 levels indicates

that also other

combustion of fossil fuels contribute to adverse health effects.

A German study had also confirmed this effect: see http://tinyurl.com/ap9te

Tom.

Interesting results.

 

Urban polluted air contains many compounds, including SO2, NOx,

dioxins, heavy metals (traces of Pb, As, Cd, Zn, etc) + particulates

(mainly partially oxidised C compounds).

 

Of those compounds, the most irritant to respiratory mucosae probably

are NOx and SO2.

 

Have any Listers tried to treat asthmatics with ISOPATHY, i.e. Acidum

Sulph+ Acidum Nit in high potency (30C upwards)?

 

Best regards,
