Whether eczema is affected by TAP was rarely investigated. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether exposure to TAP affects eczema and respiratory allergies also in small-town areas with lower concentrations of pollution. METHODS: Between 1995 and 1999, we recruited 3390 newborns from small-town areas. Diagnoses and symptoms of eczema and respiratory allergies were recorded by annual questionnaires. Seventy-seven percent of families participated until the child's 6th birthday, when a clinical test for eczema and IgE-sensitization was performed. Individual exposure to traffic-related soot and NO(2) at the children's home addresses was determined by land-use-regression. We used Cox-regression/log-binomial-regression to determine its confounder-adjusted association with incidence and prevalence of eczema and respiratory allergies. RESULTS: The prevalence of eczema at age 6 was significantly higher in children who resided in areas where TAP was higher. The adjusted relative risk for doctor diagnosed eczema for instance was 1.69 (95% confidence interval 1.04-2.75) per 90%-range of soot concentration. Current eczema at the 6 year clinical investigation was likewise associated, children with parental allergies showed significantly stronger effects (p<0.05). Incidence of eczema was not affected. No associations between TAP and asthma, hay fever, or allergic sensitization emerged. CONCLUSION: Eczema was sensitive to TAP, effects emerged even in lower polluted small-town areas of Germany. They could be seen for prevalence but not incidence of eczema. This is equivalent to a longer duration of eczema in exposed children.
