biostudies-literatureUnknown30(3)Hlophe ST<h4>Background</h4>Exposure to air pollution can cause adverse health effects in people living with chronic lung disease. In people with asthma, it is not clear whether strategies to reduce outdoor air pollution can affect clinical symptoms and lung function.<h4>Objectives</h4>To determine strategies to reduce air pollution exposure for people with asthma, and to describe the effect of reduced air pollution on asthma outcome.<h4>Methods</h4>A systematic review was conducted of six databases for English literature. Any study published between April 2012 and March 2022 that mentioned air pollution exposure reduction and asthma was reviewed. Two reviewers (STH and RMp) screened and extracted the data separately, using a standardised form based on the Cochrane data extraction tool.
