“…NO2 levels decreased significantly under the price-rising scenarios in all investigated cities except for Tehran; NO2 concentrations fell in all cities to the acceptable range based on the WHO standards (i.e., under 40 µg/m 3 ). Considering these findings, along with the difference between the human body's susceptibility, it seems that the present guideline values may not be enough for human health protection (Nadali et al, 2021).…”

In this study, we reviewed previous information regarding the effect of fossil fuel pricing intervention on the consumption of fossil fuels, air quality, and population health. In a rapid review, we searched and reviewed reports about the effect of fossil fuel pricing interventions on each or some of the following outcomes: fossil fuel consumption, concentrations of air pollutants, and mortalities or morbidities attributable to exposure to air pollutants. As part of our investigation, we also present the findings of an unpublished, original study that specifically estimated the effects of an elevated gasoline price in Iran's ten most populous cities. Pricing interventions were effective in reducing the consumption of fossil fuels, both in developing and developed countries. Price elasticity for transport gasoline was reported to be -0.227 and -0.715 for short- and long-term, respectively. Reductions in concentrations of air pollutants, especially NOx and particulate matter, were reported in several studies. This review study demonstrates the effects of escalating fossil fuel prices on reducing consumption, air pollution, and mortalities and morbidities attributable to air pollution. Considering the external costs of fossil fuels through environmental, climate, traffic congestions and accidents, and population health, the real costs of fossil fuels are much higher than their retail price. Pro-rich policies of subsidizing fossil fuels should be replaced by alternative policies that support clean public transport, which is suitable for population health, environment, and equity.

“…In addition to an epidemiological explanation of harvesting, the two-phase effect of air pollutants on asthma admissions could be because of direct irritation of the airways on the day of exposure, causing immediate bronchoconstriction; then, a gradual pro-inflammatory effect in the airways could further worsen asthma symptoms [7]. Some previous studies analyzing the effect of air pollutants on the risk of asthma exacerbations found harvesting [31][32][33][34], whereas others did not find [19,35]. Lu et al observed that the risk of asthma admission was the greatest on the day of exposure for PM 2.5 , PM 10 , and NO 2 , but it did not decrease below baseline on subsequent days.…”

Ambient air pollution in urban areas may trigger asthma exacerbations. We carried out a time-series analysis of the association between the concentrations of various air pollutants and the risk of hospital admission due to asthma over 7 days from exposure. We used distributed lag nonlinear models to analyze data gathered between 2010 and 2018 in the three largest urban agglomerations in Poland. Overall, there were 31,919 asthma hospitalizations. Over 7 days since exposure, the rate ratio (95%CI) for admission per 10 µg/m3 was 1.013 (1.002–1.024) for PM10; 1.014 (1.000–1.028) for PM2.5; 1.054 (1.031–1.078) for NO2; and 1.044 for SO2 (95%CI: 0.986–1.104). For all pollutants, the risk of admission was the greatest on the day of exposure (day 0), decreased below baseline on days 1 and 2, and then increased gradually up to day 6. The proportions (95%CI) of hospitalizations attributable to air pollution were 4.52% (0.80%–8.14%) for PM10; 3.74% (0.29%–7.11%) for PM2.5; 16.4% (10.0%–21.8%) for NO2; and 2.50% (−0.75%–5.36%) for SO2. In conclusion, PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and SO2 pollution was associated with an increased risk of hospital admission due to asthma in the three largest urban agglomerations in Poland over nine years.

“…For many years, Khuzestan Province has suffered from the air, water, and soil pollution, and sandstorms have recently worsened the situation [41][42][43]. According to research, exposure to dust and air pollutants such as PM 10 increased hospital admissions and death from asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, and other respiratory disorders [44][45][46][47][48].…”

Background Asthma and allergic complications are the most common chronic disorders in children and adolescents. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and severity of asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema among schoolchildren, and some related risk factors. Methods The cross-sectional study was performed in 2019 and involved 4000 students aged 6–7 years and 4000 students aged 13–14 years (both girls and boys) from urban schools in Khuzestan Province, southwestern Iran. We used the multi-stage sampling method. Data were collected using the Persian version of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire. Results The prevalence of current wheeze, wheeze ever and asthma ever in the age group of 6–7 years was 3.8, 4.5, and 1.8%, respectively; in the age group of 13–14 years, it was 4.4, 5.9, and 3.4, respectively. In terms of gender, males (4.9, 6.0, and 2.7 percent, respectively) had substantially higher rates of current wheeze, wheeze ever, and asthma ever compared to the girls (2.8, 3.6, and 2.0 percent, respectively) (p < 0.001). The prevalence of rhinitis, Hay fever, and eczema among young people was 5.3%, 3.5%, and 1.0%, respectively. Current wheeze was more common in children with allergic rhinitis in the last 12 months (30.3% vs. 2.7%, p < 0.001), Hay fever (32.8% vs. 0.3%, p < 0.001) and eczema (27.8% vs 3.8%, p < 0.001), compared to children who did not. Conclusions The prevalence and severity of asthma symptoms were significantly associated with allergic rhinitis, eczema, and gender.
