Residential greenness and pollen exposure across gestational trimesters in relation to preschool wheezing: Results for the PIPO birth cohort
a generalized estimation approach. Results: Approximately 10% of participants wheezed. During pregnancy, greenness (OR = 1.07, CI: 1.05–1.08) and grass pollen exposure (OR = 1.09, CI: 1.03–1.15) increased the ...
Impact of environmental nitrogen pollution on pollen allergy: A scoping review
a potential driver of this increasing prevalence. While the ecological impact of excessive nitrogen pollution has been widely studied and is relatively well understood, its indirect effect on human allergies is ...
