A review on the human health impact of airborne particulate matter
TL;DR: The basic evidence on the health effects of particulate matter is summarized and an in-depth analysis is provided to address the implications for policy-makers so that more stringent strategies can be implemented to reduce air pollution and its health effects.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Nasal allergies in the Middle Eastern population: Results from the "Allergies in Middle East Survey"
Hussain Abdulrahman,Usamah Hadi,Hisham Tarraf,Mohammad Gharagozlou,Mohamed Kamel,Alaa Soliman,Walid Abou Hamad,Kamal Maurice Hanna,Badr Eldin Mostafa,Mohammádreza Omrani,Abdelfatah Abdelmotal,Nabil Moukarzel +11 more
TL;DR: The Allergies in Middle East Survey was undertaken to help clarify and broaden the understanding of physician-diagnosed AR across Egypt, Iran, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates and shows that AR is common in the Middle East region as elsewhere in the world.

Distribution of dust-mite allergens (Lep d 2, Der p 1, Der f 1, Der 2) in pig-farming environments and sensitization of the respective farmers.
TL;DR: The aim of the present study was to determine the distribution of mite allergens in pig‐farming environments in comparison to urban homes and the relationship between exposure to mite allergy and sensitization to the respective allergens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvements in seasonal allergic disease with Lactobacillus plantarum No. 14
TL;DR: LP14 strongly induced the gene expression of Th1-type cytokines and post-intake eosinophil counts significantly increased in comparison to those at intake cessation in the placebo group, but it appeared to be suppressed in the LP14 group.
