“…Higher relative humidity has been associated with pediatric asthma in Iraq [40]. Elevated relative humidity was initially correlated with pediatric asthma ERVs before adjusting for other factors, but the association became nonsignificant after adjusting for other factors.…”

“…The higher relative humidity difference mediated with lower PM 2.5 decreased the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in warm weather [16]. This observation is attributed to the consistently high mean outside relative humidity exceeding 70% in Taipei compared with 48.03% in Iraq [40], which promoted the growth of dust mites. While families may utilize dehumidifiers to reduce indoor humidity, schools generally lack such equipment.…”

“…The minimum air temperature in the cold season causes 2.26% of asthma cases and stronger hazard effects for PM 2.5 and SO 2 in the cold season with a 1-day lag [38]. A study revealed that higher relative humidity and cold air temperature induced exacerbations of pediatric asthmatic children in Iraq [40]. The cumulative risk of acute URIs increased at an ambient average temperature of 15 • C compared with 33 • C [41].…”

(1) Background: Children are the most vulnerable to pollution due to their decreased stature, heightened respiratory rate, and frequent outdoor engagement. PM2.5, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone, and cold weather are associated with pediatric asthma. In this study, we investigated the nexus between air pollution, climate factors, and pediatric asthma emergency room visits (ERVs). (2) Method: Pediatric asthma ERV data for healthcare quality from the Taiwanese National Insurance in the Taipei area were obtained from 2015 to 2019. Air pollution and climate factor data were also collected. Poisson regression was employed to determine the relationships with relative risks (RRs). (3) Results: The incidence of pediatric asthma ERVs decreased, with a crude RR of 0.983 (95% CI: 0.98–0.986, p < 0.001). Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) had an adjusted RR of 1.102 (95% CI: 1.037–1.172, p = 0.002) and a 7.7 µg/m3 increase, and air temperature had an adjusted RR of 0.813 (95% CI: 0.745–0.887, p < 0.001) comparing between the highest and lowest quarter air temperature associated with pediatric asthma ERVs. (4) Conclusions: This inquiry underscores the positive associations of PM2.5 and cold weather with pediatric asthma ERVs. The findings could guide the government to establish policies to reduce air pollution and promote children’s health.

“…Cong et al (2017) found an association between rapidly lowering temperature and an increased risk of asthma exacerbations. Changes in weather conditions, especially high relative humidity and cold weather, were associated with asthma attacks in younger children ( Yousif & Al Muhyi, 2019). Rising humidity, because of climate change, is a problem for indoor air quality, as more indoor moisture can lead to mold, a known asthma trigger (Sly & Holt, 2018).…”

Children are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Their lungs are developing, making children with asthma especially susceptible to temperature extremes, variations in precipitation, poor air quality, and changes in pollen and flora. Structural and social determinants of health, such as racism and poverty, that disproportionately affect children of color are linked to higher rates of asthma and negative effects of climate change. These factors lead to increased absences from school and social activities, loss of work for caregivers, and increased health care costs, thus negatively affecting children, their families, and the greater community. Nurses must support caregivers and children to link climate change to asthma care, be involved in health education; climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies and policies; and develop the evidence to address climate change and asthma strategies. We address the impacts of climate change on children with asthma and nursing adaptation responses.

Introduction. Airway hyperresponsiveness to osmotic stimuli is often found among patients with asthma. It is assumed that the transient receptor potential channels of vanilloid subfamily (TRPV) may play a key role in the onset of this phenomenon.Aim. Review of modern world literature data on osmotic airway hyperresponsiveness and the role of TRPV channels in its development.Materials and methods. This review summarizes the data from articles published over the past five years found in PubMed and Google Scholar. However, earlier publications were also included if necessary.Results. The influence of natural osmotic triggers on the formation of bronchoconstriction in patients with asthma has been demonstrated. The effects that occur in the airways, depending on the functional state of TRPV1, TRPV2 and TRPV4 osmosensitive receptors are described, and the mechanisms that mediate the development of bronchial hyperresponsiveness with the participation of these channels are partially disclosed.Conclusion. It is safe to assume that TRPV channels are directly or indirectly associated with airway hyperresponsiveness to osmotic stimuli. Signaling cascades triggered by TRPV activation largely explain the effects of osmotic influence on the airways and the occurrence of bronchoconstriction. It could be suggested that TRPV1 signaling mediates the development of bronchospasm to hyperosmolar stimuli, while TRPV2 and TRPV4 are most likely involved in hypoosmotic-induced bronchoconstriction. Further study of the role of TRPV1, TRPV2 and TRPV4 in osmotic airway hyperresponsiveness is relevant and promising in terms of pharmacological management of this condition.
