Early-life exposure to air pollution associated with food allergy in children: Implications for 'one allergy' concept

CONCLUSION: Early-life exposure to high levels of outdoor and indoor air pollution in China due to the rapid economic growth and fast urbanization in the past decades may contribute to the rapid increase of food allergy (FA) in children. Our study indicates that, in addition to gut and skin, airway may be a new route of food sensitization. Air pollution leads to the first and second waves of allergy epidemics, suggesting a concept of 'one allergy' disease.PMID:36347392 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2022.114713
