“…29 With the rising of temperature, patients are more willing to have outdoor activities as a consequence they are more easily exposed to air pollutants. 48 This study has several strengths, including comprehensive data collection, a large sample of eczema outpatients and the use of distributed lagged nonlinear model to examine patterns of environmental factors, uncovering the associations and lagged effects between environmental factors and eczema in Chengdu, southwest China, for the first time. Previous results regarding the association between temperature and skin diseases prevalence are conflicting.…”

“…A study in India reported the similar susceptibility in male, and it is plausible that male patients are more susceptible to air pollutants as a result of longer duration of exposure than female. 48 This study has several strengths, including comprehensive data collection, a large sample of eczema outpatients and the use of distributed lagged nonlinear model to examine patterns of environmental factors, uncovering the associations and lagged effects between environmental factors and eczema in Chengdu, southwest China, for the first time. Nevertheless, the study has potential limitations.…”

Indian cities struggle with some of the highest ambient air pollution levels in the world. While national efforts are building momentum towards concerted action to reduce air pollution, individual cities are taking action on this challenge to protect communities from the many health problems caused by this harmful environmental exposure. In 2017, the city of Ahmedabad launched a regional air pollution monitoring and risk communication project, the Air Information and Response (AIR) Plan. The centerpiece of the plan is an air quality index developed by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology’s System for Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research program that summarizes information from 10 new continuous air pollution monitoring stations in the region, each reporting data that can help people avoid harmful exposures and inform policy strategies to achieve cleaner air. This paper focuses on the motivation, development, and implementation of Ahmedabad’s AIR Plan. The project is discussed in terms of its collaborative roots, public health purpose in addressing the grave threat of air pollution (particularly to vulnerable groups), technical aspects in deploying air monitoring technology, and broader goals for the dissemination of an air quality index linked to specific health messages and suggested actions to reduce harmful exposures. The city of Ahmedabad is among the first cities in India where city leaders, state government, and civil society are proactively working together to address the country’s air pollution challenge with a focus on public health. The lessons learned from the development of the AIR Plan serve as a template for other cities aiming to address the heavy burden of air pollution on public health. Effective working relationships are vital since they form the foundation for long-term success and useful knowledge sharing beyond a single city.

“…The particulate matters sizing less than 10 μm and 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter are classified and referred as PM10 and PM2.5, respectively. The exposures to high PM10 concentration lead to asthma, respiratory problems and cardiovascular disease [5]. The concentration [10].…”

PM10 reportedly contributes about 0.8 million premature cases and 2.1 million deaths worldwide [6-7]. In Malaysia, the PM10 concentration is mostly influenced by industrial, power plants and transportation activities. While during haze events, the major regional source of PM10 is biomass burning during dry season from June to September each year [8-9]. Apart from emission sources, complex interactions in various processes such as emission itself, transport and transformation are the common factors that influence meteorological parameters in PM10
