Assessment of mother’s awareness regarding indoor asthma triggers

“…Some are risks we might decide to avoid if we had the opportunity to make informed choices. Indoor air pollution and exposure to hazardous substances in the home are risks we can do action in this regard (Kiley and Morosco, 2007;IOM, 2000;Breyssee et al, 2010;Mahmoudi, 2007;Noonan et al, 2010) In the last several years, a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even the largest and most industrialized cities. Other researches indicate that people spend approximately 90% of their time indoors.…”

“…In addition, people exposed to indoor air pollutants for the longest periods are often those most susceptible to their effects. Such groups include the young, the elderly, and the chronically ill, especially those suffering from respiratory or cardiovascular disease (Kiley and Morosco, 2007;IOM, 2000;Breyssee et al, 2010;Mahmoudi, 2007;Noonan et al, 2010).…”

“…Asthma is a disease of the respiratory system characterized by the occurrence of intermittent attacks, reversible airflow obstruction, severe shortness of occasional incidents of cough and wheezing which accompanied with hypersensitivity resulting from exposure to environmental pollutants during the early years of childhood (Peat et al, 2001). Symptoms are changing from person to person, ranging from mild to severe, and happen in both asthma caused by allergies and that occurs as a result of non-sensitive and can include; cough, wheezing, difficulties during breathing, constriction in the chest, and excess in the mucus secretion (Kiley and Morosco, 2007;IOM, 2000;Breyssee et al, 2010;Mahmoudi, 2007;Noonan et al, 2010).…”

“…People who suffer from allergies more vulnerable to asthma are children. Asthma usually occurs when children at the age of five, and adults in the third decade, and can also be infected by older people, with about 10% of asthma cases are diagnosed after the age of 65 (Kiley and Morosco, 2007;IOM, 2000;Breyssee et al, 2010;Mahmoudi, 2007;Noonan et al, 2010). There are two basic types of asthma: extrinsic asthma (allergy) and endogenous asthma (not because of sensitivity).…”

“…In many cases, a person can develop both types together, which is a mixture of external and internal origin. External origin asthma is more prevalent among children and adolescents and usually disappears with age and with avoiding allergens factors (Kiley and Morosco, 2007;IOM, 2000;Breyssee et al, 2010;Mahmoudi, 2007;Noonan et al, 2010).…”
