Abstract

Allergic patients have an increased susceptibility to the adverse effects of both natural and man-made air pollutants. This goes for both indoor and outdoor air pollutants and manifests itself with biochemical, cellular, and pathophysioloic expressions of adverse health effects in allergic individuals. Also occupationally induced allergic diseases will remain very important. This area has been reviewed recently by Cullen et al.108 Since allergic patients comprise somewhere between 15% and 20% of the population, this increased susceptibility is of crucial importance not only for medical care and research but for legislative and regulatory consideration to protect these vulnerable individuals.

      The advancement of science and technology has greatly improved the quality of human life; however, the excessive use of fossil fuels has exacerbated air pollution. According to the United Nations and World Health Organization estimates, approximately 4.3 million people die each year from inhaling fine particles due to outdoor air pollution (Pierson and Koenig, 1992). PM2.5, the most important air quality index, refers to pollutants having a particle diameter of 2.5 μm or less.
