Seasonal viruses modify short-term air pollution effects on pediatric wheeze and asthma: a time-series study
In this study, circulating RV modifies, rather than confounds, the association between short-term air pollution and pediatric WAD ED visits. Considering viral activity improves the interpretation of pollution-health associations and may explain inconsistencies across studies.
