   Long-term air pollution exposure is associated with increased severity of rhinitis in 2 European cohorts

   Relevance:

   rhinitis severity was 4 (2-6). Higher exposure to PM10 was associated with higher rhinitis severity (adjusted odds ratio [95% CI] for a 10 mug/m(3) increase in PM10: for mild: 1.20 [0.88-1.64], moderate: [...] Respiratory Health Survey) were included. Annual exposure to NO2, PM10, PM2.5, and PMcoarse (calculated by subtracting PM2.5 from PM10) was estimated using land-use regression models derived from the European
