Journal ArticleDOI
Association between neighbourhood air pollution concentrations and dispensed medication for psychiatric disorders in a large longitudinal cohort of Swedish children and adolescents
TL;DR: There may be a link between exposure to air pollution and dispensed medications for certain psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents even at the relatively low levels of air pollution in the study regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Desert dust: an unrecognized source of dangerous air pollution?
Thomas Sandström,Bertil Forsberg +1 more
TL;DR: Concern over possible underestimation of toxicity from coarse particles coming from desert sources may be of concern for large areas of the globe that periodically encounter high levels of windblown desert dust and warrants further attention.
Journal Article
Air pollution levels, meteorological conditions and asthma symptoms
TL;DR: An association has been established for black smoke as pollutant and shortness of breath as respiratory symptom, and that in certain asthmatics, effects were occurring at lower particulate levels than suggested previously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin-specific IgE is associated with asthma in the general population: a GA(2)LEN study.

TL;DR: Specific IgE to Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins (SE‐IgE) has been associated with asthma and the general population was targeted to determine the prevalence of and risk factors for serum SE‐IGE and to examine the association with asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The absence of a positive association of humidity with mortality in summer in this large multinational study is counter to expectations from physiologic studies, though consistent with previous epidemiologic studies finding little evidence for improved prediction by heat indices.
