Summary
Air pollution assessment in allergic rhinitis (AR) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) research varies widely. Standardized methods and environmental scientist collaboration are needed for better rhinology studies.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Otolaryngology
- Public Health
Background:
- Air pollution's impact on respiratory health is significant.
- Rhinologic diseases like allergic rhinitis (AR) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) are prevalent globally.
- Methodologies for assessing air pollution exposure in rhinologic research require characterization.
Conclusions:
- Current methods for quantifying air pollution exposure in rhinology research are inconsistent.
- There is a lack of consistent collaboration with environmental science experts.
- Future studies should prioritize multidisciplinary collaboration, report residential stability, and adopt standardized metrics.
