The results of the study showed that these growths can actually be inherited. On average, 13.3% of the participants had in fact inherited them. It was also found that the participants who suffered from polyps had a higher occurrence of allergies when compared to the ordinary person who did not have the growths. In fact, 64% of the participants had various allergies. In another study carried out in Newcastle, UK it appeared that there was a link between smoking and nasal polyps, especially in men (in women this association was not clear). CHEMICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS There are certain people whose occupations force them to work in environments that are full of chemicals and dust. According to the study conducted, the dust and chemicals also set off the growth of nasal polyps. This proved to be the case among the participants who were studied. Being exposed to chemicals at your workplace can contribute to the development of polyps. As expected, it was also found that your level of education did not contribute to the growth of polyps in any way. The research results also associated nasal polyps with allergies, something that has always been believed to be a major trigger of nasal polyps. Looking in detail at the allergy triggers, there are various potential triggers of nasal polyps. One of them is Samter’s Triad. In simple terms, this is an aspirin allergy. What happens is that aspirin can actually block the passageway that is mainly responsible for the breaking down of a certain acid referred to as Arachidonic Acid (an acid that the body produces from omega 6 fatty acids - more on this later). When this happens, the other passageway will be overly used, leading to a situation whereby there is an increase of substances that are responsible for triggering the inflammation that is believed to be the major cause of the polyps. 12
