研究人员说,蟑螂感染会增加过敏和内分泌毒素,使儿童哮喘恶化。 Cockroach infestations raise allergens and endotoxins, worsening children's asthma, researchers say.

一项新的研究将蟑螂的侵袭与家庭内高水平的过敏和内分泌毒素、特别是儿童哮喘的恶化联系起来。 A new study links cockroach infestations to higher levels of allergens and endotoxins in homes, worsening asthma, especially in children. 研究人员发现,在侵袭家庭,特别是在厨房,过敏和内分泌毒素水平显著提高,而雌性蟑螂生产更多的内分泌毒素。 Researchers found significantly elevated allergen and endotoxin levels in infested homes, particularly in kitchens, with female cockroaches producing more endotoxins. 灭绝降低了水平,但未经治疗的感染仍然存在高暴露风险. Extermination reduced levels, but untreated infestations maintained high exposure risks. 调查结果强调,完全清除蟑螂是改善室内空气质量和呼吸卫生的关键,特别是在老年和城市住房中。 The findings emphasize that complete cockroach removal is key to improving indoor air quality and respiratory health, especially in older and urban housing.
