Alveolar nitric oxide is a non-invasive indicator of small-airway inflammation, a key pathophysiologic mechanism underlying lower respiratory diseases. However, no epidemiological studies have investigated the impact of fine particulate matter (PM) exposure on the concentration of alveolar nitric oxide (CANO). To explore the associations between PM exposure in multiple periods and CANO, we conducted a nationwide cross-sectional study in 122 Chinese cities between 2019 and 2021.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the link between short-term ozone exposure and acute asthma exacerbations in adults, particularly in China, as previous research often overlooked mild cases.
- A total of 4,467 adult asthma patients across 18 cities provided daily lung function records, which were analyzed alongside ozone concentration data to assess the impact on asthma symptoms.
- Results indicated that even small increases in ozone levels were associated with a higher risk of asthma exacerbations, with effects lasting for up to 2 days, and the findings remained significant after controlling for other air pollutants.
Background: Non-optimum ambient temperature has not been widely perceived as an important environmental risk factor for asthma, and the association between ambient temperature and pulmonary function is rarely explored. Our study aimed to investigate the associations between non-optimum ambient temperature and pulmonary function among asthmatic adult patients.
Methods: We performed a longitudinal study among 4,992 eligible adult asthmatic patients in 25 cities of China from 2017 to 2020.
Background: Few studies have explored the role of ambient temperature in asthma exacerbation.
Objective: We aimed to explore the association of temperature with diurnal peak expiratory flow (PEF) variation and asthma exacerbation.
Method: We developed a longitudinal study among asthmatic adults in 18 Chinese cities.
The short-term associations of fine particulate matter (PM) and coarse particulate matter (PM) with pulmonary function were inconsistent and rarely evaluated by dynamic measurements. Our study aimed to investigate the associations of PM and PM with real-time pulmonary function. We conducted a longitudinal study based on dynamic pulmonary function measurements among adult asthmatic patients in 25 cities of 19 provincial regions of China from 2017 to 2020.
