Incidence of exercise induced asthma (EIA) in elite female swimmers. 
            Comparison of four tests
            S. Winther, K. R. Larsen, V. Backer, E. Fritzbøger (Copenhagen, 
            Denmark)

 "Conclusions: The data suggest that Danish elite female swimmers have 
   a high prevalence of EIA. To diagnose this, the EVH test is most 
   sensitive, but it cannot stand alone".

            Consequences of regular training in chlorinated or chlorine-free 
            pools on the respiratory tract of competitive swimmers
            S. Y. Carbonnelle, M. Francaux, A. M. Bernard (Brussels, 
            Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium)

            These observations suggest that regular training in chlorinated pools 
            increases the risk of having respiratory symptoms and elevated eNO 
            probably as a consequence of the irritation due to volatile 
            chlorination products. Supported by the Brussels Capital Region.

            Pool chlorine, atopy and the risk of asthma in children
            A. Bernard, M. Nickmilder, S. Carbonnelle, O. Michel (Brussels, 
            Belgium)

		These observations further support the 
            	hypothesis that pool chlorine could be an important westernisation 
            	associated factor involved in the rise of childhood asthma. 
           	Supported by the Brussels Capital Region and the European Union.
