Although asthma guidelines have been widely spread to both specialists and family paediatricians, it is clear that the number of asthma exacerbations did not diminish during the years considered. This study was designed to investigate the possible relationships between these environmental agents and asthma exacerbations assessed by emergency calls in a 10-year period.</p><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Unfortunately, the number of emergency calls does not diminish over the 10-year period; rather there was an increasing trend. This finding must induce a serious remark on the global management in children with asthma.</p><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Analysing the yearly distribution, two main peaks are evident: the most relevant during the autumn, and the second during the spring. The autumn peak may be most likely due to two main causes: respiratory infections and house dust mite exposure. Both factors are more prevalent during the autumn. However, this study did not assess these two issues.</p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">With regard to the pollen count, there was a trend of variation over the study period, but it was not significant. On the other hand, the assessment of the seasonal occurrence of pollens is more relevant. Typically, all pollen species peaked during the spring, with an overlapping among species between April and May. Interestingly, there was a significant and direct relationship between the global quantity of all pollens and emergency calls during the warm months. This finding underlines and confirms the causal role of allergen exposure in inducing asthma exacerbations in children.</p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In relation to meteorological parameters, the only significant variation over the study period was the wind speed that diminished. This finding might exert a pathogenic role as the wind constitutes a relevant factor able to affect the presence of air pollutants. On the other hand, there were significant seasonal variations concerning the meteorological variables: typically there were the peaks of humidity and temperature during the summer associated with a nadir for the wind speed. From a clinical point of view, some seasonal variations correlated with emergency calls. Particularly, the wind speed was strongly and positively related with emergency calls. In other words, the more intense the wind was, the more numerous the emergency calls were. The relationship between rainfall quantity and emergency calls was stronger. These data might represent a practical application: when there is hard rain and the wind blows intensively, it is reasonable to expect several emergency calls for asthma exacerbations.</p><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">About air pollution data, most pollutants significantly diminished over the time, except NO. This finding reflects the effect produced by rigorous restrictions on pollutant emission, even though the efforts were not sufficient to also reduce NO. Anyway, significant seasonal variations were evident during the year: all pollutants, but no ozone, peaked during the cool seasons, mainly depending on home heating and congested traffic. The impact of pollution variations on emergency calls was particularly evident. In fact, SO<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span>, NO, and NO<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span> were significantly and directly associated with emergency calls. This finding confirms and highlights the relevant role exerted by air pollution on respiratory symptoms in childhood, mainly concerning asthma exacerbations. Unexpectedly, there was a negative relationship between ozone levels and emergency calls. Probably, this finding could be explained by the reduction of all the other causing factors, such as pollens, meteorological parameters, and other air pollutants.</p><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Finally, the regression model showed that there was a significant correlation among several environmental factors. Parietaria pollens were the most relevant, as were dew point, temperature, and air pollution.</p><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Therefore, this study demonstrates that asthma exacerbations in children may be significantly dependent on environment, even though probably there is globally no single sufficient factor.</p><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The topic concerning the causal factors of asthma exacerbations is still debated, but is object of several studies. In this regard, a recent review pointed out that although considerable progress has been made, much remains to be done.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> Current evidence clearly provides the suggestion that every effort has to be made to obtain optimal treatment to achieve adequate control of asthma.
