Effect of Ambient Air Pollutants on the Medical Costs of Allergic Rhinitis in Seoul, Korea

Ambient air pollutants are considered significant factors that influence allergic diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ambient air pollution on the medical costs of allergic rhinitis (AR) through a time‐series analysis.
