Contaminación del aire y asma

Olaia Bronte Moreno

Resumen


Los niveles actuales de la contaminación del aire (CA) son responsables de una carga significativa de aumento incidencia de diagnósticos, exacerbaciones y mortalidad por asma.

Los contaminantes ambientales como el ozono (O3), el dióxido de nitrógeno (NO2), el material particulado (PM) especialmente las PM2.5 y el dióxido de sulfuro (SO2), pueden tener un papel relevante en la génesis y agravamiento del asma (en especial las partículas PM diésel).

La exposición prenatal a contaminantes del aire está asociada con sibilancias y asma en la primera infancia. En primera infancia, la exposición a la CA se asocia con el debut de asma antes de la adolescencia, menor desarrollo de la función pulmonar y es un predictor de enfermedad pulmonar en adultos. Finalmente, la exposición a CA en adultos parece estar relacionada con el inicio del asma en individuos mayores.

El desarrollo del asma por la exposición a CA se produce por varios mecanismos. De forma directa, puede inducir la activación del estrés oxidativo, desencadenar mecanismos inmunológicos y activar receptores de canales de potenciales transitorios. De forma indirecta, desencadena cambios epigéneticos y alteración del microbioma pulmonar.  Finalmente, la interacción de las partículas diésel con diversos antígenos puede incrementar el potencial antigénico de éstos últimos.

La rápida urbanización, el mayor consumo de energía y el aumento de emisiones actuales, hacen que el tracto respiratorio se encuentre expuesto a mayor cantidad y variedad de CA. Por ello, no sorprende que estemos experimentando mayor incidencia de diagnósticos de asma, hospitalizaciones y exacerbaciones.
