Pesticides as an overlooked exposomic association in allergic asthma exacerbations: A nationwide database study.

The article explores the association between pesticide exposure and allergic asthma exacerbations, focusing on non-occupational pesticide exposure as a potential risk factor.

The study suggests that higher pesticide exposure may contribute to hospital stays for allergic asthma, particularly in urban residents, highlighting the need for further research on personalized strategies for asthma prevention and management.
