ABSTRACT

The article has been divided into two parts, establishes the problem of environmental pollution and its role as a triggering factor of adverse effects on respiratory health in children. Currently air pollution in different studies of systematic review and cohort in international literature has been implicated as a determinant of health effects, providing evidence with specific risk measures, therefore, it is relevant to consider them in relation to conditions such as asthma. and other upper and lower airways in acute or chronic form. Children’s environmental health is fundamental during the growth and development of children from the gestational stage to adolescence and can lead to changes in the functioning of the genome through epigenetic mechanisms, which in turn can be transgenerational. The environmental factors and the pollution area in particular, favors a greater susceptibility to develop respiratory and immunological problems, among others, that can be preventable, establishing detection and control strategies. Sensitizing the medical staff that treats these conditions is a tool that helps identify and act on this important public health problem, which is the objective of this review from the perspective of environmental epidemiology.
