Abstract:
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a nasal hypersensitivity disease that is influenced by environmental factors, genetic factors, and various inflammatory factors. The role and mechanisms of ozone, as a component of air pollution, in the pathogenesis of AR are not yet fully understood. This article provides a review of the impact of ozone on the epidemiology and pathology of AR, as well as its possible mechanisms, to provide new insights into the prevention and treatment of AR.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification
Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.
