BACKGROUND
Allergens like endotoxin and mite allergen Der p 1 are associated with early wheezing and asthma morbidity. Day-care centers can be an important source of exposure to allergens. The aim of this study was to evaluate children's exposure to endotoxin and mite allergen (Der p 1) associated with total suspended particulate matter (TSP) and settled dust in day-care centers in two phases in years of 2015 and 2016 in Tehran city, Iran.
METHODS
Endotoxin and mite allergen Der p 1 in TSP and settled dust were measured in 23 day-care centers in Tehran. After collecting dust samples and weighting them, and then their extraction, Endotoxin and Der p 1 allergen were determined using QCL-1000 Endpoint chromogenic LAL Assay and ELISA, respectively.
RESULTS
The mean concentrations of endotoxin and mite allergen Der p 1 in settled dust were 0.3 EU/mg and 0.2 ng/mg, respectively. The mean concentration of endotoxin and mite allergen Der p 1 in indoor air TSP were 0.8 EU/m and 0.4 ng/m, respectively. A significant negative correlation was found between endotoxin both in settled dust and in TSP with measured relative humidity in winter. Also, moderate correlation was observed between Der p 1 in settled dust and relative humidity in winter; however, the correlation between allergen in TSP and relative humidity was not significant.
CONCLUSION
Day-care centers can be an important source of endotoxin and Der p 1 allergen, so, implementation of proper interventions in these places can reduce exposure to them.
背景
内毒素和螨过敏原Der p 1等过敏原与早期喘息及哮喘发病相关。日托中心可能是接触过敏原的重要来源。本研究旨在评估2015年和2016年两个阶段伊朗德黑兰市日托中心儿童接触与总悬浮颗粒物（TSP）及沉降灰尘相关的内毒素和螨过敏原（Der p 1）的情况。
方法
对德黑兰23个日托中心的TSP及沉降灰尘中的内毒素和螨过敏原Der p 1进行测量。收集灰尘样本并称重，然后进行提取，分别使用QCL - 1000终点显色鲎试剂法和酶联免疫吸附测定法测定内毒素和Der p 1过敏原。
结果
沉降灰尘中内毒素和螨过敏原Der p 1的平均浓度分别为0.3 EU/mg和0.2 ng/mg。室内空气中TSP内毒素和螨过敏原Der p 1的平均浓度分别为0.8 EU/m和0.4 ng/m。冬季沉降灰尘和TSP中的内毒素与测得的相对湿度之间存在显著负相关。冬季沉降灰尘中的Der p 1与相对湿度之间观察到中度相关性；然而，TSP中过敏原与相对湿度之间的相关性不显著。
结论
日托中心可能是内毒素和Der p 1过敏原的重要来源，因此，在这些场所实施适当干预措施可减少对它们的接触。
