“…Lower rates of sensitization to pollen and animal dander and self‐reported hay fever have been observed in occupational studies of adult farmers [ 14–17]. The results of the present study are also supported by a study in Swedish conscripts [ 18] and a more recent study among Finnish university students demonstrating lower prevalence rates of self‐reported allergic rhinitis in students who had been raised on a farm as compared with students from a nonagricultural environment [ 18, 19].…”

“…Although pollen exposure is more intense in the rural setting, the prevalence of pollinosis is lower 117 than in the urban setting 118 -probably because of the lesser traffic pollution on one hand, and contact with farm animal endotoxins on the other. 95,96 Differences are also seen in the rural setting.…”

Allergic disorders are the chronic diseases of greatest pediatric morbidity, affecting over 25 % of the pediatric population. Indeed, this situation has been referred to as an "allergic epidemic". In comparison with asthma, atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis have been less extensively investigated, although this does not mean that they should be regarded as minor disorders but rather as alterations that affect the quality of life of the patients and their families, which generate considerable direct and indirect costs. Despite an important research effort, the reason for this allergic epidemic is not well known. These are multifactor disorders without a single causal agent, in which the most important component is the genetic predisposition of the patient (atopy), modulated by environmental factors, exposure to allergens, infections and irritants, among others. A confounding element is the fact that the concept of allergic diseases encompasses phenotypes of rhinitis, atopic dermatitis or asthma in which no IgE-mediated atopic mechanism is demonstrated, and which can manifest in a way similar to true allergic phenotypes. Differentiation between the two is difficult to establish on the basis of self-administered questionnaires alone, in the absence of a precise etiological diagnosis. The present article reviews the numerous factors suggested to be responsible for the increase in allergic diseases recorded in the last few decades, and for the differences in prevalence observed among centres. For most of these factors the results published in the literature are contradictory, in some cases due to a lack of control of the associated interacting or confounding factors. Consensus exists for only some of these causal factors, such as the established parallelism between the increase in allergic diseases and the reduction in infectious processes on one hand, and the increase in particles generated by diesel fuel combustion on the other. In addition, the implicated factors could act differently (and in some cases even antagonically) upon atopy and on the different disease phenotypes, thereby complicating the study of these interactions even further.

“…It involves IgE-mediated pathological mecha nisms which have been adequately investigated, and good therapies are available. Hay fever is regarded as the classical atopic disease; it is most common allergy which imposes a heavy economic burden and is, therefore, the perfect candidate for epidemiological and sociological investigations [4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

Epidemiological studies on representative populations clearly demonstrate a significant general increase of atopic diseases during the last decades, mainly for pollinosis. For the manifestation of an atopic disease both allergen exposure, which leads to specific IgE antibody formation, and the presence of additional realization factors are required. The nature of the latter is still partially unknown. Careful interpretations of clinical and experimental observations show that besides indoor and outdoor pollution, increased exposure to allergens through changes in human way of living is an important cofactor responsible for the increased incidence of atopic diseases.
