Résumé
Ambient air pollution is likely a risk factor for asthma, and recent evidence suggests the possible relevance of road traffic noise. We examined the associations of long-term exposure to air pollution and road traffic noise with adult-asthma incidence. We followed 28,731 female nurses (age > 44 years) from the Danish Nurse Cohort, recruited in 1993 and 1999, for first hospital contact for asthma from 1977 until 2015. We estimated residential annual mean concentrations of particulate matter with diameter < 2.5 µm (PM During 18.6 years' mean follow-up, 528 out of 23,093 participants had hospital contact for asthma. The hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals for asthma incidence associated with 3-year moving average exposures were 1.29 (1.03, 1.61) per 6.3 µg/m Long-term exposure to air pollution was associated with adult-asthma incidence independently of road traffic noise, with NO

BACKGROUND
Ambient air pollution is likely a risk factor for asthma, and recent evidence suggests the possible relevance of road traffic noise.
OBJECTIVES
We examined the associations of long-term exposure to air pollution and road traffic noise with adult-asthma incidence.
METHODS
We followed 28,731 female nurses (age > 44 years) from the Danish Nurse Cohort, recruited in 1993 and 1999, for first hospital contact for asthma from 1977 until 2015. We estimated residential annual mean concentrations of particulate matter with diameter < 2.5 µm (PM
RESULTS
During 18.6 years' mean follow-up, 528 out of 23,093 participants had hospital contact for asthma. The hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals for asthma incidence associated with 3-year moving average exposures were 1.29 (1.03, 1.61) per 6.3 µg/m
CONCLUSIONS
Long-term exposure to air pollution was associated with adult-asthma incidence independently of road traffic noise, with NO
