__________________________________________________________________________________________ Ground level (tropospheric) ozone, an air pollutant and key ingredient of urban smog, has a negative impact on human health worldwide. Many studies have reported increases in emergency-room visits, hospital admissions, and mortality for patients with these conditions, associated with days of increased ozone. Short-term exposures to ozone irritate the respiratory system and may cause health problems by…

Climate Change and Air Pollution: Effects on Respiratory Allergy

It is not easy to evaluate the impact of climate changes and air pollution on the prevalence of asthma in the general population and on the timing of asthma exacerbations, although the global rise in asthma prevalence and severity could also be an effect of air pollution and climate change.

Effects on asthma and respiratory allergy of Climate change and air pollution

Since airborne allergens and air pollutants are frequently increased contemporaneously in the atmosphere, enhanced IgE-mediated response to aeroallergens and enhanced airway inflammation could account for the increasing frequency of respiratory allergy and asthma in atopic subjects in the last five decades.

Asia Pacific Association of Allergy Asthma and Clinical Immunology White Paper 2020 on climate change, air pollution, and biodiversity in Asia-Pacific and impact on allergic diseases

There is an urgent need to increase public awareness, highlight targets for interventions, public advocacy and a call to action to policy makers to implement policy changes towards reducing air pollution with interventions at a population-based level.

A Review of the Consequences of Global Climate Change on Human Health

The scientific evidence for the human health impact of climate change is reviewed and the various diseases in association with changes in the atmospheric environment and climate conditions are analyzed.

Impact of Climate Change on Pollen and Respiratory Disease

  • 2018
Evidence is accumulating that indicates the expected higher number of ozone alert days and increased pollution in populated areas is bringing increases in pollen potency, and allergists should consider increasing educational activities aimed at making patients more aware of air quality conditions.

Effects of Atmospheric Pollutants on Biodiversity

Biodiversity is severely affected by the various anthropogenic activities. Humans depend on natural resources for survival. The resources include food, clean drinking water, timber for construction,…

Every species' survival on earth is dependent on each other for their demand and dependent on the environment and various other sources. These resources include fresh food, clean drinking water,…

HOURLY TROPOSPHERIC OZONE CONCENTRATION FORECASTING USING DEEP LEARNING

The results showed that deep learning models can be successfully applied to hourly forecasting of ozone concentrations for urban areas, and once such models are fitted to the data, the forecasting procedure has a very low computational cost.

Spatial sensitivity analysis of COVID-19 infections concerning the satellite-based four air pollutants levels

The results indicated that even short-term exposure to higher concentrations of the pollutants could lead to an increased risk of COVID-19 outbreaks, which should be considered in adopting adequate and appropriate control policies to manage the disease.

Enhancement of Osteoblast Differentiation Using No-Ozone Cold Plasma on Human Periodontal Ligament Cells

NCP treatment promotes osteoblastic differentiation of PDL cells; therefore, it may be beneficial for treating periodontitis.

Association between ozone and hospitalization for acute respiratory diseases in children less than 2 years of age.

Ambient ozone levels in the summertime should be considered a risk factor for respiratory problems in children less than 2 years of age.

The effect of ozone and PM10 on hospital admissions for pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a national multicity study.

It is confirmed, in a large sample of cities, that exposure to ozone and PM10 is associated with respiratory hospital admissions and evidence that the effect of air pollution is modified by certain city characteristics is provided.

Short term fluctuations in air pollution and hospital admissions of the elderly for respiratory disease.

Air pollution concentrations within current guidelines were associated with increased respiratory hospital admissions of the elderly and these results are consistent with other studies and suggest that lowering air pollution concentrations would have some impact on public health.

Long-term ozone exposure and mortality.

In this large study, it was not able to detect an effect of ozone on the risk of death from cardiovascular causes when the concentration of PM(2.5) was taken into account, but a significant increase in the risk from respiratory causes was demonstrated in association with an increase in ozone concentration.

Association between lifetime ambient ozone exposure and pulmonary function in college freshmen--results of a pilot study.

The strong relationship of lifetime ambient O3 on mid- and end-expiratory flows of college freshmen and the lack of association with FEV1 and FVC are consistent with biologic models of chronic effects of O3 in the small airways.

Chronic Exposure to Ambient Ozone and Asthma Hospital Admissions among Children

Asthma admissions were significantly associated with increased ozone levels for all chronic exposure indicators, with a positive dose–response relationship, and stronger associations among younger children, low sociodemographic groups, and New York City residents as effect modifiers.

Association of low-level ozone and fine particles with respiratory symptoms in children with asthma.

Asthmatic children using maintenance medication are particularly vulnerable to ozone, controlling for exposure to fine particles, at levels below EPA standards.

Acute effects of ozone on mortality from the "air pollution and health: a European approach" project.

The dose-response curve of ozone effects on total mortality during the summer did not deviate significantly from linearity and the associations with total mortality were independent of SO2 and particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 10 mum but were somewhat confounded by NO2 and CO.

Low-level ozone exposure induces airways inflammation and modifies cell surface phenotypes in healthy humans

Results showed that exposure to 0.08 parts per million ozone for 6.6 h induced increased airway neutrophils, monocytes, and dendritic cells and modified the expression of CD14, HLA-DR, CD80, and CD86 on monocytes 18’h following exposure.
