Abstract

Airborne pollutants with adjuvant effect, called airborne adjuvants, may promote IgE-sensitisation and development of allergic airway diseases. Smoking and occupational allergen exposures were reviewed to establish a general and verified framework for hazard identification and risk assessment of adjuvant effects of airborne pollutions.
