Indoor and outdoor pollutants—No safe amount of air to breathe in.

The article discusses the interconnectedness of planetary health and human health, specifically focusing on the impact of indoor and outdoor pollutants on asthma-related outcomes. The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) conducted systematic reviews to evaluate the effects of pollution on patients with asthma and provide recommendations for prevention and patient care. The article highlights the risks associated with exposure to outdoor air pollutants, such as particulate matter and traffic-related pollutants, as well as indoor pollutants like volatile organic compounds, cleaning agents, and pesticides. The guidelines emphasize the importance of reducing exposure to pollutants and implementing personalized interventions for asthma management. Additionally, the article addresses the impact of tobacco smoke on asthma outcomes and the need for further research to establish causal relationships between pollutants and adverse asthma-related outcomes. The guidelines aim to improve asthma care and advocate for multilevel, multi-sectoral actions to reduce emissions, improve air quality, and prioritize underserved populations.
