Biological monitoring of particulate matter accumulated in the lungs of urban asthmatic children in the Tel-Aviv area
2015
Purpose
Lung inflammation from exposure to airborne particulate matter (PM) may be responsible for morbidity in asthma, but several studies using environmental monitoring data showed inconsistent results. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the capability of induced sputum (IS) technology in order to biologically monitor PM in the lungs of urban asthmatic children.
