The effect of reduction in antioxidant activity has been explored in another way, by exposure to paracetamol, which depletes the antioxidant glutathione. In adults in Britain there was a positive relationship between paracetamol use and asthma [89(111)]. Paracetamol sales per capita have been examined in relationship to ISAAC data in 36 countries, and European Community Respiratory Health Survey data in 18 countries. There were positive correlations between paracetamol sales and symptoms of wheeze, rhinoconjunctivitis and eczema. An increase in paracetamol sales of lOg/capita was associated with an increase of 5.2% in asthma symptoms in 13- to 14-year-olds and 2.6% in adults [90(111)1.

Gotschi et al. (2008) examined the relationship between air pollution and lung function in adults within the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS). FEVi and FVC were assessed at basehne and after 9 years of foUow-up from 21 European centers (followed-up sample n = 5610). PM2.5 was measured in 2000-2001 using central monitors. Despite sufficient statistical power no significant associations were found between city-specific annual mean PM2.5 and average lung function levels in adults. 

The association of household use of hypochlorite with atopic sensitization, allergic disease, and respiratory health status has been assessed in 3626 participants in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey II. Specific serum IgE to four environmental allergens was available and all the participants did the cleaning in their own homes [65 ]. The use of...
