Description
Rinrada Naka and co-authors follow, in a 2026 cohort study, whether fine dust in city air worsens chronic rhinitis in children over time. The Bangkok study tracked 146 children for about a year, with weekly symptom scores and estimated dust exposure for the week before each score. Medication use and infections were logged as rival explanations.
Each ten-unit rise in the fine dust measure came with a clear rise in symptom scores. Wet season weeks, infections, and medication use also tracked with worse scores, which the models weighed in. The dust link held for both allergic and non-allergic rhinitis. The authors call for exposure cuts as part of care.
