Background The influence of airborne particulate matter (PM) on skin has primarily been studied in patients with skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis. Recently, the effect of PM on healthy human skin has gained attention. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between PM concentration and objective skin changes in healthy subjects. Methods This prospective study enrolled 25 healthy volunteers without any skin disease. Data regarding daily meteorological parameters and air pollution were collected during a high-PM period and a low-PM period for 14 days. Environmental and lifestyle factors that might influence skin conditions of subjects were also collected during the study period. Biophysical parameters of the skin such as transepidermal water loss (TEWL), hydration, erythema index, and melanin index were measured. Pores, wrinkles, sebum, and skin tone were evaluated using a facial analysis system. Results Mean TEWL value during the high-PM period was significantly higher than that during the low-PM period (10.16 g/m2/h vs. 5.99 g/m2/h, p = 0.0005). Mean erythema index was significantly higher in the high-PM period than that in the low-PM period (4.3 vs. 3.42, p = 0.038). For facial analysis system indices, uniformity of skin tone was higher in the low-PM period than that in the high-PM period (p < 0.0001). In addition, with increasing PM10 and PM2.5, TEWL also showed increase when other environmental components were constant [regression coefficient (RC) = 0.1529, p < 0.0001 for PM10; RC = 0.2055, p = 0.0153 for PM2.5]. Conclusions Increased PM concentrations may contribute to disturbed barrier function, increased facial erythema, and uneven skin tone even in healthy human skin.

“…Limited previous studies had reported the effects of air pollution on AD can be modified by meteorological factors and found conflicting results. A recent study in Korea found that the risks of AD symptoms caused by PM 2.5 and PM 10 exposure were significantly increased on dry moderate days, which characterized by mild, dry weather conditions . Considering the diverse demographic, economic and climatic characteristics of the study areas, the temperature, relative humidity and air pollution levels likely vary in different regions, contributing to differences in the direction and magnitude of the modification effects of meteorological factors on air pollution.…”

Background The prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) dramatically increased over these years and environmental factors were considered as potential contributors towards these trends. Objective This study aimed to explore several major environmental exposures, including air pollution, temperature and relative humidity, in order to identify potential modifiable risk factors and their interactive effects on AD. Methods We applied a bivariate response surface model and stratification model based on time‐series Poisson generalized additive models to examine the interactive effects of air pollution and meteorological factors on AD. Results A total of 64 987 outpatient visits for AD were recorded from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2017. Interactive effects were found between air pollutants and meteorological factors. Enhanced positive associations between pollutants and outpatient visits for AD were found at the highest quartile temperature level. A 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5, PM10, NO2 and SO2 were associated with 0.42% (95% CI: 0.16–0.67%), 0.34% (95% CI: 0.15–0.54%), 1.11% (95% CI: 0.38–1.84%) and 1.06% (0.21–1.93%) increase in outpatient visits for AD at the highest quartile temperature level. Conclusion That effects of air pollutants on AD can be modified by meteorological factors, with enhanced effects on hot days.

“…Girls appeared to be specifically affected by PM 10 , whereas boys were impacted by NO 2 and O 3 increases. In a further study conducted on 125 children aged 6 years at most, the risk of experiencing pollution‐induced disease symptoms was shown to be higher in dry–moderate weather conditions. In contrast, 10‐unit increases in PM 2.5 or O 3 and 2‐unit increases in NO 2 or SO 2 did not correlate with worsening of AD symptoms in Japanese school children ( N = 339) .…”

Indoor and outdoor airborne pollutants modify our environment and represent a growing threat to human health worldwide. Airborne pollution effects on respiratory and cardiac health and diseases have been well established, but its impact on skin remains poorly described. Nonetheless, the skin is one of the main targets of pollutants, which reach the superficial and deeper skin layers by transcutaneous and systemic routes. In this review, we report the outcomes of basic and clinical research studies monitoring pollutant levels in human tissues including the skin and hair. We present a current understanding of the biochemical and biophysical effects of pollutants on skin metabolism, inflammatory processes and oxidative stress, with a focus on polyaromatic hydrocarbons and ground‐level ozone that are widespread outdoor pollutants whose effects are mostly studied. We reviewed the literature to report the clinical effects of pollutants on skin health and skin ageing and their impact on some chronic inflammatory skin diseases. We also discuss the potential interactions of airborne pollutants with either ultraviolet radiation or human skin microbiota and their specific impact on skin health.
