Babies exposed to higher levels of PM2.5 and NO2 were more likely to develop a peanut allergy and for their peanut allergy to persist, as shown in our newest findings in #HealthNuts This work is a result of >15 years of data collection, and collaborations with researchers…

Congratulations A/Prof @DrRachelPeters, CFAR Associate Investigator, and the team behind this new research. The rise in #allergy rates has happened at a similar time to urbanisation, leading researchers to suspect environmental factors may play a role in allergies developing.
Exposure to higher levels of air #pollution as a baby is linked to having a peanut #allergy throughout childhood, according to a new #MCRI and @UniMelb led study. #MedicalResearch #ChildHealth 👉 https://t.co/P32PHGgPPw
