Abstract

Air pollution and climate change have a significant impact on human health and well-being, and contribute to the onset and worsening of bronchial asthma, allergy and other chronic respiratory diseases. Reducing exposure to indoor environmental factors that have been shown to worsen asthma symptoms or exacerbate asthma is an important part of respiratory disease management strategies. Current evidence suggests that portable air purifiers could be a useful way of reducing exposure to pollutants, especially in children but also in adults. Air purifiers can reduce the concentration of triggers of asthma in indoor air, but the results supporting their benefits for breathing problems have not always been reproducible. This paper summarizes the effects of indoor air pollution on asthma and allergies in children and adults, and the effectiveness of air purifiers in reducing the effects of pollution.

市售空气净化器对支气管哮喘和过敏症状的影响
空气污染和气候变化对人类健康和福祉产生重大影响,并导致支气管哮喘、过敏和其他慢性呼吸道疾病的发病和恶化。减少暴露于已被证明会加重哮喘症状或加剧哮喘的室内环境因素是呼吸系统疾病管理策略的重要组成部分。目前的证据表明,便携式空气净化器可能是减少接触污染物的有效方法,尤其是对儿童,但也适用于成人。空气净化器可以降低室内空气中哮喘诱因的浓度,但支持其对呼吸问题有益的结果并不总是可重复的。本文综述了室内空气污染对儿童和成人哮喘和过敏的影响,以及空气净化器在减少污染影响方面的效果。

期刊介绍: Alergologia Polska - Polish Journal of Allergology is aimed mainly at allergologists, but also medical doctors working in related fields, such as otolaryngology, pulmonology, and dermatology. The main goal of the journal is to ensure rapid publication of important research papers and interesting case studies from the following areas: allergology, diagnostics, therapy of allergic diseases, in particular in the area of immunotherapy, rhinitis, asthma. The Editorial Board accepts for publication original papers, case studies and letters to the Editor. We also publish review articles (both commissioned and those agreed upon with the Editor-in-Chief), articles dealing with standards of medical practice, as well as special issues. The journal is published quarterly. We guarantee short review times (up to two weeks) and immediate publication on-line upon Editor acceptance.
