CD Codispoti, GK LeMasters, L Levin… - Annals of Allergy …, 2015 - Elsevier
Background No large, prospective, epidemiologic study has investigated the association
between diesel exhaust particle (DEP) exposure and early aeroallergen sensitization and
allergic rhinitis (AR) at 4 years of age. Objective To determine how exposure to traffic
exhaust during infancy is associated with aeroallergen sensitization and AR at 4 years of
age and the predictive utility of the wheal area at 1 to 3 years of age on AR at 4 years of age.
Methods Infants born to aeroallergen sensitized parents were evaluated annually with skin …
