Effects of environmental exposure on allergic diseases in children / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

The prevalence of allergic diseases is rising in children as a result of complex gene-environment interactions.Environmental exposures can dramatically influence the phenotype of allergic diseases,including atopic eczema,asthma,and allergic rhinitis.Environmental factors associated with allergic diseases include chemical pollutants and allergens in the air,as well as other environmental exposures such as the microbiome.Indoor and outdoor air pollutants and allergens play an important role in the inflammatory response and clinical manifestations of allergic reactions caused by allergens.Strengthening environmental control and controlling environmental exposure is an important way to prevent allergic diseases.
