人们对环境空气污染与哮喘上升趋势之间可能存在的联系表示相当关注。本章回顾了关于空气污染和哮喘的机制和流行病学证据，并检验了哮喘趋势可以用空气污染来解释的假设。它的结论是，现有的证据是不足以将空气污染与健康受试者的哮喘发病联系起来。虽然有更好的证据表明空气污染可以引发或加重哮喘，但与其他因素相比，它在公共卫生层面上可能起着次要作用。因此，哮喘的趋势不太可能用空气污染来解释。此外，随着时间的推移，一些空气污染物与哮喘之间的相关性与假设不一致。机动车污染的具体影响的可能性需要进一步调查，但这一因素不太可能是全球哮喘增加的主要原因。
There is considerable concern about possible links between ambient air pollution and the upward trend in asthma. This chapter reviews the mechanistic and epidemiological evidence concerning air pollution and asthma and examines the hypothesis that trends in asthma could be explained by air pollution. It is concluded that existing evidence is not sufficient to link air pollution with the initiation of asthma in healthy subjects. Although there is better evidence that air pollution can provoke or aggravate asthma, it probably plays a minor role at a public health level, in comparison with other factors. It is therefore unlikely that trends in asthma could be explained by air pollution. Furthermore, correlations between some air pollutants and asthma over time are not consistent with the hypothesis. The possibility of a specific effect of motor vehicle pollution needs further investigation but this factor is unlikely to be the main cause of the worldwide increase in asthma.
