Abstract
Purpose of review: The purpose of the review is to summarize the current literature and evaluate how different environmental exposures may contribute to the development and course of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The review aims to explore the relationship between host factors and environmental exposures in the pathogenesis of CRS.
Recent findings: Recent studies have helped establish the role of air pollutants, tobacco smoke, occupational exposures, and microplastics in the pathogenesis of CRS. These exposures have been shown to cause epithelial dysfunction and promote inflammation through different mechanisms and to different degrees. The pathogenesis of CRS is complex and multifactorial, with environmental exposures playing a key role in its onset and exacerbation. Research indicates that pollutants can damage the sinonasal epithelial barrier and disrupt the microbiome, leading to increased inflammation. A deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind this inflammatory process and its link to environmental exposures could enhance strategies for preventing and treating CRS.
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.
