Abstract:The incidence of allergic rhinitis (AR) is increasing year by year, which is closely related to environmental factors. Among them, environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are typical environmental pollutants, which can interfere with endogenous hormones. Epidemiological studies have shown that there is a certain correlation between the incidence of AR and EDCs exposure. The role of EDCs in the pathogenesis of AR has been explored. EDCs can promote oxidative stress and airway inflammation by acting on hormone signaling pathways, break the balance of Th1(Thelper cell 1)/Th2(Thelper cell 2), cause microbiota imbalance, regulate epigenetic regulation and other pathways to cause respiratory allergic inflammatory response. The EDCs exposure may be an important factor in inducing AR. In this paper, it will be reviewed for the source, classification, pollution status, characteristics and possible mechanism of EDCs about AR.
