The authors investigated the association of daily consultations with general practitioners for allergic rhinitis with air pollution in London, United Kingdom. Generalized additive models were used to regress time series of daily numbers of patients consulting for allergic rhinitis against 1992\u20131994 measures of air pollution, after control for possible confounders and adjustment for overdispersion and serial correlation. In children, a 10th\u201390th percentile increase in sulfur dioxide (SO2) levels 4 days prior to consultation (13\u201331 \u03bcg\/m3) was associated with a 24.5% increase in consultations (95% confidence interval: 14.6, 35.2; p &amp;lt; 0.00001); a 10th\u201390th percentile increase in averaged ozone (O3) concentrations on the day of consultation and the preceding 3 days (6\u201329 parts per billion) was associated with a 37.6% rise (95% confidence interval: 23.3, 53.5; p &amp;lt; 0.00001). For adults, smaller effect sizes were observed for SO2 and O3. The association with SO2 remained highly significant in the presence of other pollutants. This study suggests that air pollution worsens allergic rhinitis symptoms, leading to substantial increases in consultations. SO2 and O3 seem particularly responsible, and both seem to contribute independently.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/aje\/153.7.704","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,26]],"date-time":"2002-07-26T23:02:40Z","timestamp":1027724560000},"page":"704-714","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":100,"title":["Association between Air Pollution and Daily Consultations with General Practitioners for Allergic Rhinitis in London, United Kingdom"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"153","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"Hajat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Haines","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.
