Lindgren, Anna LU ; Stroh, Emilie LU orcid and Jakobsson, Kristina LU (2015) In BMC Public Health 15(1).
Abstract
Epidemiologic studies have shown conflicting results regarding the role of traffic pollution in the development of allergic disease. This study investigated the relationship between living close to traffic and ever dispense of prescribed oral antihistamines or nasal anti-allergic medication, among young children. The underlying aim was to investigate if children growing up close to traffic pollution are at higher risk of developing allergy in early childhood.
