Air Pollution, Asthma and Diet: From Mechanisms to Prevention Strategies

Emissions reduction at source remained the cornerstone of prevention. Effective mitigation should be multi-level and equity-focused, combining structural air-quality improvements with pollution-aware asthma care and feasible household practices. Diet should be framed as a supportive, food-first resilience strategy, improving overall diet quality, fat quality, and fiber intake rather than a substitute for emissions reduction or guideline-based asthma management.
