   Sammanfattning : We have assessed self-reported rhinitis in the absence of common cold, called "Non-infectious rhinitis", (NIR). The occurrence of NIR was investigated in a population sample of 2,044 individuals, aged 21-51, in an industrialised county in Sweden who answered a questionnaire relating to NIR and occupational exposure to potential irritants and sensitisers.

   Sammanfattning : Allergic diseases are chronic inflammatory conditions, characterised by eosinophil inflammation systemically and in target organs, where cytotoxic granule proteins are responsible for tissue injury. Allergic rhinitis is known to be a risk factor for the development of asthma, yet not all with rhinitis develop asthma. LÄS MER

5. 9. Exhaled Nitric Oxide in epidemiological and experimental studies

   Författare :Anna-Carin Olin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Nitric oxide; exhaled air; nasal nitric oxide; ozone; pulp-mill; gassings; nitrate; ; atopy; sensitization; asthma; rhinitis; bronchiolitis;

   Sammanfattning : The overall purpose with this thesis has been to contribute to the assessment of theutility of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) in epidemiological studies. The specific aims have been toinvestigate whether eNO increases after occupational exposure to high peaks of ozone, or afterexperimental exposure to ozone in ambient concentrations. LÄS MER
