Abstract

Purpose of review: This review aims to assess the prevalence of common allergen exposures and environmental risk factors for asthma in schools, examine the underlying mechanisms of these environmental risk factors, and explore possible prevention strategies.

Recent findings: Cockroach, mouse, dust mites, fungi, viral infections, ozone pollution, and cleaning products are common allergen exposures and environmental risk factors in schools which may affect asthma morbidity. Novel modifiable environmental risk factors in schools are also being investigated to identify potential associations with increased asthma morbidity. While several studies have investigated the benefit of environmental remediation strategies in schools and their impact on asthma morbidity, future studies are warranted to further define the effects of modifiable risk factors in schools and determine whether school mitigation strategies may help improve asthma symptoms in students with asthma.

学校过敏原暴露和环境危险因素对儿童哮喘的影响。

综述目的：本综述旨在评估学校常见过敏原暴露的患病率和哮喘的环境风险因素，研究这些环境风险因素的潜在机制，并探索可能的预防策略。最近的发现：蟑螂、老鼠、尘螨、真菌、病毒感染、臭氧污染和清洁产品是学校常见的过敏原暴露和环境风险因素，可能会影响哮喘的发病率。学校中新的可改变的环境风险因素也在调查中，以确定与哮喘发病率增加的潜在关联。虽然几项研究已经调查了环境补救策略在学校的益处及其对哮喘发病率的影响，但未来的研究有必要进一步确定可改变的风险因素在学校的影响，并确定学校的缓解策略是否有助于改善哮喘学生的哮喘症状。

期刊介绍： The aim of Current Allergy and Asthma Reports is to systematically provide the views of highly selected experts on current advances in the fields of allergy and asthma and highlight the most important papers recently published. All reviews are intended to facilitate the understanding of new advances in science for better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of allergy and asthma. We accomplish this aim by appointing international experts in major subject areas across the discipline to review select topics emphasizing recent developments and highlighting important new papers and emerging concepts. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Over a one- to two-year period, readers are updated on all the major advances in allergy and asthma.
