We evaluated the association between AD-borne air pollutants and daily reported subjective symptoms in healthy subjects. We constructed an Internet questionnaire on daily ocular, nasal, respiratory, and skin symptoms. Forty-two healthy volunteers residents of Yonago (mean age, 33.57) were selected from the self-reporting web-based survey and recorded their symptoms between 1 and 31 of March 2013. We also collected information on levels of suspended particulate matter (SPM), particulate matter &lt; 2.5\u2009<jats:italic>\u00b5<\/jats:italic>m (PM<jats:sub>2.5<\/jats:sub>), sulfur dioxide (SO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>), and nitrogen oxide (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mi mathvariant=\"normal\">N<\/mml:mi><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi mathvariant=\"normal\">O<\/mml:mi><\/mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>x<\/mml:mi><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:msub><\/mml:math>) per hour on each of those days.
