• Description:
  KEY POINTS: Rural populations are at risk for unique agriculture-related exposures that likely contribute to worsening asthma and wheeze. Exposures to certain pesticides, livestock facilities, agricultural dust, endotoxin (specifically late-life endotoxin exposure), and biomass fuel smoke should be considered as risk factors for asthma and/or wheeze. Minimizing exposure to the aforementioned rural risk factors may help reduce negative respiratory effects in agricultural communities and further investigations into these risk factors are warranted. Early-life endotoxin exposure and certain dietary factors (particularly omega-3 fatty acids and unpasteurized milk) are potentially protective factors in relation to rural airway inflammation.
