  • Effects of Indoor Air Pollution on respiratory symptoms of non-smoking women in Niš, Serbia
    Multidisciplinary Respiratory Medicine, 2019
    Co-Authors: Aleksandra Stanković, Maja Nikolić, Mirjana Arandjelović
    Abstract:

    Rationale: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of Indoor Air Pollution exposure on respiratory symptoms and illnesses in non-smoking women in Niš, Serbia. Materials and methods: The study was carried out in 1,082 never-smoking females, aged 20-40 years, who were not occupationally exposed to Indoor Air Pollution. The prevalence of respiratory symptoms and illnesses was assessed using the American Thoracic Society questionnAires. Multivariate methods were used in the analysis. Results: A strong association was found between respiratory symptoms and Indoor Air Pollution. The associations between home dampness and sinusitis and bronchitis were also found to be statistically significant. Conclusions: Indoor Air Pollution exposure is an important risk factor for respiratory symptoms and illnesses in nonsmoking women in Niš, Serbia.

  • Indoor Air Pollution and Respiratory Health.
    Clinics in chest medicine, 2020
    Co-Authors: Sarath Raju, Trishul Siddharthan, Meredith C. Mccormack
    Abstract:

    Worldwide, more than 4 million deaths annually are attributed to Indoor Air Pollution. This largely preventable exposure represents a key target for reducing morbidity and mortality worldwide. Significant respiratory health effects are observed, ranging from attenuated lung growth and development in childhood to accelerated lung function decline and is determined by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease later in life. Personal exposure to household Air pollutants include household characteristics, combustion of solid fuels, cooking practices, and household pest allergens. This review outlines important sources of Indoor Air Pollution, their respiratory health effects, and strategies to reduce household Pollution and improve lung health across the globe.

  • Indoor Air Pollution and Asthma in Children
    Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2010
    Co-Authors: Patrick N. Breysse, Gregory B. Diette, Elizabeth C. Matsui, Arlene M. Butz, Nadia N. Hansel, Meredith C. Mccormack
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this article is to review Indoor Air Pollution factors that can modify asthma severity, particularly in inner-city environments. While there is a large literature linking ambient Air Pollution and asthma morbidity, less is known about the impact of Indoor Air Pollution on asthma. Concentrating on the Indoor environments is particularly important for children, since they can spend as much as 90% of their time Indoors. This review focuses on studies conducted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Childhood Asthma in the Urban Environment as well as other relevant epidemiologic studies. Analysis of exposure outcome relationships in the published literature demonstrates the importance of evaluating Indoor home environmental Air Pollution sources as risk factors for asthma morbidity. Important Indoor Air Pollution determinants of asthma morbidity in urban environments include particulate matter (particularly the coarse fraction), nitrogen dioxide, and Airborne mouse allergen exposure. Avoidance of harmful environmental exposures is a key component of national and international guideline recommendations for management of asthma. This literature suggests that modifying the Indoor environment to reduce particulate matter, NO2, and mouse allergen may be an important asthma management strategy. More research documenting effectiveness of interventions to reduce those exposures and improve asthma outcomes is needed.
