Domestic airborne pollutants and asthma and respiratory symptoms in middle age

The role of indoor air pollution as a risk factor for asthma and respiratory symptoms in middle age is unclear. We investigated associations between indoor air pollution sources and (i) asthma phenotypes and (ii) asthma‐related respiratory symptoms in middle‐aged adults.
