Effect of air pollution on the development of allergic rhinitis and interstitial lung diseases
https://doi.org/10.51922/2074-5044.2026.2.72
Abstract
The review examines the impact of major air pollutants on the development of allergic rhinitis and interstitial pulmonary diseases. Available domestic and foreign literature sources have been analyzed and summarized, on the basis of which the dominant air pollutants influencing the development, exacerbation and progression of these pathologies have been identified. A set of measures has been proposed to improve the quality of medical prevention, which will minimize the adverse impact of polluted air on public health. An increase in the number of prospective studies evaluating the effectiveness of measures aimed at medical prevention of the development and progression of respiratory diseases is justified.
