Purpose of Review

With increasing industrialization, exposure to ambient and wildfire air pollution is projected to increase, necessitating further research to elucidate the complex relationship between exposure and sinonasal disease. This review aims to summarize the role of ambient and wildfire air pollution in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and olfactory dysfunction and provide a perspective on gaps in the literature.

Recent Findings

Based on an emerging body of evidence, exposure to ambient air pollutants is correlated with the development of chronic rhinosinusitis in healthy individuals and increased symptom severity in CRS patients. Studies have also found a robust relationship between long-term exposure to ambient air pollutants and olfactory dysfunction.

Summary

Ambient air pollution exposure is increasingly recognized to impact the development and sequelae of sinonasal pathophysiology. Given the rising number of wildfire events and worsening impacts of climate change, further study of the impact of wildfire-related air pollution is a crucial emerging field.

环境和野火空气污染对鼻窦炎和嗅觉功能障碍的影响

审查目的

随着工业化程度的提高，暴露在环境和野火空气污染中的情况预计会增加，因此需要进一步研究来阐明暴露与鼻窦疾病之间的复杂关系。本综述旨在总结环境和野火空气污染在慢性鼻窦炎（CRS）和嗅觉功能障碍中的作用，并就文献中的空白提供视角。

最近的发现

根据大量证据，暴露于环境空气污染物与健康个体慢性鼻窦炎的发生以及慢性鼻窦炎患者症状严重程度的增加相关。研究还发现，长期接触环境空气污染物与嗅觉功能障碍之间存在密切关系。

概括

人们越来越认识到环境空气污染暴露会影响鼻窦病理生理学的发展和后遗症。鉴于野火事件数量不断增加和气候变化影响日益恶化，进一步研究野火相关空气污染的影响是一个重要的新兴领域。
