Harmful Effects

The harmful effects of man-made air pollution cause impaired functioning of many systems of the human body, posing the greatest danger to the health of children. Both Ukrainian and foreign scientific researches have proved that not only increase in the number of diseases of the respiratory system takes place, but also the prevalence of allergic diseases and a decrease in cognitive function of schoolchildren. The relationship between atmospheric air pollution in school districts and the presence of diseases among schoolchildren has been established. Some chemicals, such as lead and manganese, can have a direct effect on the brain, cognitive function of children, their intelligence and impair pupils' performance. Analysis of statistical data in the Kharkiv region over a 25-year period indicates a tendency to increase the levels of carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, soot, zinc in the atmosphere, against the background of the general reduction of emissions of organized and unorganized sources into the atmospheric air, including estimation per unit area and "technogenic load" per person. To date, sanitary and hygienic monitoring of atmospheric air is not organized in full, only full ecological monitoring is carried out. In this regard, the State Consumer Service of the Kharkiv region for 2019 developed a program of sampling of atmospheric air in the territories adjacent to the preschool institutions and schools of the region, with their further study on 12 ingredients - the main pollutants, most characteristic of both stationary and mobile pollution sources. Effective operation of the regional system of social hygiene and environmental monitoring is one of the necessary measures to stabilize and improve the environment, as well as the primary prevention of the harmful effects of industrial atmospheric pollution, including the identification of potential risk for the most vulnerable populations and development on the primary prevention of respiratory pathology.

Atopic March

Atopic march is a variant flowing of atopia that begins in early childhood as atopic dermatitis, then developinto other allergic diseases (bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis) at an older age. The state of the epidermal barrier and sensitization to inhaled allergens are considered as predictors for the development of atopic march. Data on the importance of these factors in the development of atopic march and information about possible approaches to prevention are presented in this article.

Abstract Background Air pollutants such as particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in outdoor air have long been suspected of causing the development of asthma and allergic rhinitis. However, a variety of systematic reviews have reached different conclusions in the last 15 years on whether these air pollutants do in actual fact play a causal role in the onset of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema. Methods Based on published systematic reviews and the most recent publications, the current state of knowledge on epidemiological evidence is presented and the potential for primary prevention of these allergic diseases by reducing or avoiding exposure to these air pollutants evaluated. Results Despite conducting an extensive literature search, analyzing the most recent results, and focusing on the birth cohort studies most relevant to the question in hand, epidemiological results do not adequately support the concept of a causal relationship between the two air pollutants in question, PM2.5 and NO2, and asthma. Epidemiological studies predominantly show no effect of these air pollutants on allergic sensitization and the onset of allergic rhinitis. The small number of studies that have investigated the link between air pollutants and eczema largely revealed there to be no link. Conclusion If the evidence for the causal role of air pollutants in the onset of allergies is inconclusive, one must assume that it is probably not possible to achieve primary prevention of allergies by improving air quality. However, there is sufficient evidence to show that air pollutants can trigger exacerbations of allergic diseases. This alone justifies ensuring that the existing threshold values for air pollutants are adhered to, in order to protect particularly allergy sufferers from health impairments.
