The impact of exposure to tobacco smoke and e-cigarettes on asthma-related outcomes: Systematic review informing the EAACI guidelines on environmental science for allergic diseases and asthma.
Allergy
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology analyzed systematic reviews using GRADE to assess the effects of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and active smoking on asthma-related issues, focusing primarily on longitudinal studies.
- - Prenatal and postnatal ETS are linked to an increased risk of recurrent wheezing and new-onset asthma, with moderate to low certainty evidence indicating that combined ETS exposure heightens these risks.
- - Active smoking is associated with severe asthma exacerbations and poor asthma control, also backed by moderate certainty evidence, alongside potential impacts on quality of life and lung function.
What molecular allergy teaches us about genetics and epidemiology of allergies.
Curr Opin Allergy Clin Immunol
August 2024
Purpose Of Review: To delineate pertinent information regarding the application of molecular allergology within the realm of both genetic and epidemiological facets of allergic diseases.
Recent Findings: The emergence of molecular allergy has facilitated the comprehension of the biochemical characteristics of allergens originating from diverse sources. It has allowed for the exploration of sensitization trajectories and provided novel insights into the influence of genetics and environmental exposure on the initiation and development of allergic diseases.
Article Synopsis
- The EAACI Guidelines explain how being outside in polluted air can make asthma worse and give tips for preventing problems and taking care of patients.
- They were made to help doctors, patients, and government officials make better choices about asthma management and outdoor air quality.
- The guidelines suggest that while short-term exposure to pollution can lead to more hospital visits for asthma, there's still a need for better evidence on how to reduce pollution and improve air quality.
Systematic review using GRADE of the impact of exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), cleaning agents, mould/damp, pesticides on the risk of (i) new-onset asthma (incidence) and (ii) adverse asthma-related outcomes (impact). MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science were searched for indoor pollutant exposure studies reporting on new-onset asthma and critical and important asthma-related outcomes. Ninety four studies were included: 11 for VOCs (7 for incidenceand 4 for impact), 25 for cleaning agents (7 for incidenceand 8 for impact), 48 for damp/mould (26 for incidence and 22 for impact) and 10 for pesticides (8 for incidence and 2 for impact).

Air pollution is one of the biggest environmental threats for asthma. Its impact is augmented by climate change. To inform the recommendations of the EAACI Guidelines on the environmental science for allergic diseases and asthma, a systematic review (SR) evaluated the impact on asthma-related outcomes of short-term exposure to outdoor air pollutants (PM2.
