Allergic respiratory disease, which includes allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and asthma, is one of the most common diseases, with a major impact on a patient's quality of life. Air pollution is one of the main factors associated with the development of allergic respiratory disease, it has been shown to impair lung development in children and adolescents. The origins of particulate matter produced from various sources, including those issued by traffic and the burning of fuels such as coal, gasoline and diesel. Diesel emissions represent the majority of the particulate matter in urban air pollution. It has been found that the co-exposure of diesel emissions and airborne allergens increases allergen-specific IgE levels, severity of asthma, inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness. In vivo and in vitro studies have reported the activation of anti-transcription and pro-inflammatory mediators. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, metal components or metabolites may increase due to the formation of oxygen reactive species that interact with DNA, producing different types of damage as oxidative damage.
