Desert dust hazards: A global review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a synthesis of the hazards of desert dust, including accelerated soil erosion in agricultural zones, air pollution caused by desert aerosols via their physical, chemical and biological properties, transport accidents caused by poor visibility during desert dust events, and impacts on electricity generation and distribution.

Exposure to outdoor air pollution during trimesters of pregnancy and childhood asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema
TL;DR: Maternal exposure to traffic-related air pollutant NO2 during pregnancy, especially in specific trimesters, is associated with an increased risk of developing asthma, rhinitis, and eczema in children, and this results support the hypothesis that childhood allergic diseases originate in fetal life and are triggered by traffic- related air pollution in sensitive trimeters.

Influence of Ambient Fungal Spores on Emergency Visits for Asthma to a Regional Children's Hospital
TL;DR: Fungal spores account for a significant proportion of the asthma exacerbations in children that prompt an emergency department visit, and daily concentrations of both pollen grains and fungal spores during a 5-yr period between 1993 and 1997.
Journal ArticleDOI
Severe asthma: advances in current management and future therapy.
TL;DR: Several subtypes of severe asthma are now recognized, and in the future, it will be necessary to find biomarkers that predict responses to specific forms of therapy.

Association of Indoor Nitrogen Dioxide Exposure with Respiratory Symptoms in Children with Asthma
TL;DR: Exposure to indoor NO2 at levels well below the Environmental Protection Agency outdoor standard (53 ppb) is associated with respiratory symptoms among children with asthma in multifamily housing.
