Traffic-Related Air Pollution and Asthma Onset in Children: A Prospective Cohort Study with Individual Exposure Measurement

Abstract: BackgroundThe question of whether air pollution contributes to asthma onset remains unresolved.ObjectivesIn this study, we assessed the association between asthma onset in children and traffic-related air pollution.MethodsWe selected a sample of 217 children from participants in the Southern California Children’s Health Study, a prospective cohort designed to investigate associations between air pollution and respiratory health in children 10–18 years of age. Individual covariates and new asthma incidence (30 … Show more

“…Though many studies of the chronic health effects associated with long-term exposure to air pollution (often from large, well-known cohorts) examine the use of an alternative exposure metric in an epidemiologic study (Adar et al 2013;Brauer et al 2002;Jerrett et al 2008;Puett et al 2011;Young et al 2014;Zmirou et al 2004), only the seven studies found by the authors and described below examine multiple approaches to exposure assessment, and include comparison of the epidemiologic results obtained when using each exposure metric. However, many manuscripts lacked definitive conclusions about which exposure metric was most beneficial, and the wide range of health outcomes, exposure metrics, and exposure durations of interest used make it difficult to draw larger conclusions from these studies.…”

“…Four other studies have undertaken their own measurements campaigns and used averaged and temporally adjusted measurements to reflect the populations' exposure, either in isolation or alongside other metrics (Brauer et al, 2002;Nicolai et al, 2003;Gauderman et al, 2005;Jerrett et al, 2008,).…”

“…Outros estudos usaram métodos combinados para avaliar a exposição ao tráfego 55,56 . Outros métodos de avaliação da exposição aos poluentes veiculares, como por exemplo, o uso de questionários, em que são reportados os níveis de tráfego, monitores instalados em residências, amostradores pessoais ou passivos e dados de estação de monitoramentos também são aplicáveis [57][58][59][60][61] .…”
