TL;DR: Exposure to moderate levels of locally emitted air pollution from traffic early in life appears to influence the development of airway disease and sensitization in preschool children.

TL;DR: It is found that relatively new apartment buildings, single-family homes with crawl space/concrete slab foundation, elevated indoor humidity, and reported wintertime windowpane condensation were associated with recurrent wheezing in infants, and improvements of the building quality may have potential to prevent infant wheazing.

TL;DR: Examination of the relationship between indoor exposures and the home environment, and the development of recurrent wheezing during infancy found a trend in the risk of recurrent Wheezing in relation to the number of indicators of dampness, and newly painted surfaces in the child's bedroom was associated with an increased OR.

TL;DR: Exposure to air pollution including NO2, particularly in combination with exposure to ETS, increases the risk of recurrent wheezing in children, and appears stronger in children who did not fulfil the criteria for recurrent Wheezing until their second year.

TL;DR: Window pane condensation and indoor vapour contribution ≥ 3 g/m3 could be used as indicators of defective air change rate, high indoor humidity and high mite allergen concentration in mattress dust.
