We examined the relationship between traffic-related air pollution and the development of asthmatic\/allergic symptoms and respiratory infections in a birth cohort (n \u223c 4,000) study in The Netherlands. A validated model was used to assign outdoor concentrations of traffic-related air pollutants (nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter less than 2.5 \u03bcm in aerodynamic diameter, and \u201csoot\u201d) at the home of each subject of the cohort. Questionnaire-derived data on wheezing, dry nighttime cough, ear, nose, and throat infections, skin rash, and physician-diagnosed asthma, bronchitis, influenza, and eczema at 2 years of age were analyzed in relation to air pollutants. Adjusted odds ratios for wheezing, physician-diagnosed asthma, ear\/nose\/throat infections, and flu\/serious colds indicated positive associations with air pollutants, some of which reached borderline statistical significance. No associations were observed for the other health outcomes analyzed. Sensitivity analyses generally supported these results and suggested somewhat stronger associations with traffic, for asthma that was diagnosed before 1 year of age. These findings are subject to confirmation at older ages, when asthma can be more readily diagnosed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.200108-007oc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,10,14]],"date-time":"2002-10-14T22:34:59Z","timestamp":1034634899000},"page":"1092-1098","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":520,"title":["Air
