| Abstract: | "The environment of an asthmatic patient can contain numerous sources of pollutants that degrade the quality of indoor air and have major repercussions on the occurrence and control of asthma. Assessment and improvement of the quality of indoor air should be assigned a major role in pneumology and allergology consultations. Characterization of an asthmatic's environment entails a search for biological pollutants with mite allergens, mildew, and allergens resulting from the proximity of pets. It is important to evaluate the chemical pollution represented by exposure to volatile organic compounds, which are increasingly present in our lodgings. Active or second-hand smoking must in all circumstances be sought out and quantified. Assessment of the environment is mediated by several methods, of which the application depends not only on the pollutant sought out, but also on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which has an essential role in quantification of biological pollutants. Attempts at expulsion of the different indoor environment pollutants is mediated by indoor environment advisors, whose efforts are aimed at obtaining reliable evaluation and control of indoor air. Implemented as a form of tertiary prevention, their methods are conducive to improved asthma control, in adults as well as children" |
