Associations of exposure to outdoor PM and NO during pregnancy with childhood asthma, rhinitis, and eczema in a predominantly rural French mother-child cohort.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how outdoor air pollution, specifically fine particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen dioxide (NO), affects childhood diseases like asthma, rhinitis, and eczema, especially in rural areas where the effects are less understood.
- It utilized data from the Pélagie mother-child cohort in Brittany, France, analyzing 1322 children at age 6 and 1118 at age 12 to assess the prevalence of these diseases and their coexistence (multimorbidity).
- Results indicated a tendency for PM and NO to associate with the diseases, particularly in urban areas, highlighting the need for further research on the differing impacts of air pollution in urban versus rural environments.
Trihalomethanes (THMs) and nitrate are widespread chemicals in drinking water. Chronic exposure has been associated with increased cancer risk despite inconclusive evidence, partly due to the challenges in long-term exposure assessment and potential exposure misclassification. We estimated concentrations of nitrate and THMs in drinking water using a public regulatory monitoring database (SISE-Eaux) for CONSTANCES, a French population-based prospective cohort.

Our aims were to 1) describe AR according to four ARIA classes and 2) within each of the four ARIA classes, compare participants with AR alone versus those with AR and asthma.
Methods: Cross-sectional analyses were performed using data from the 2014 annual follow-up questionnaire of the French adult population-based cohort Constances.
Background: Growing epidemiological evidence suggests an adverse relationship between exposure to air pollutants and cognitive health, and this could be related to the effect of air pollution on vascular health.
Objective: We aim to evaluate the association between air pollution exposure and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) marker of cerebral vascular burden, white matter hyperintensities (WMH).
Methods: This cross-sectional analysis used data from the French Three-City Montpellier study.
Background: While the adverse effects of short-term ambient ozone exposure on lung function are well-documented, the impact of long-term exposure remains poorly understood, especially in adults.
Methods: We aimed to investigate the association between long-term ozone exposure and lung function decline. The 3014 participants were drawn from 17 centers across eight countries, all of which were from the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS).
