A Case Study of Birch Pollen and the Synergy with Environmental Factors: Relation to Asthma in Montreal, Canada

Environmental factors such as air pollution are known to exacerbate respiratory illness and increase the overall health risk. However, on a daily or seasonal basis, relation between pollutants, weather disease asthma is not clear. When combined with aeroallergens birch pollen under specific conditions, synergistic effects may symptoms of morbidity then reveal interesting links environmental factors. Hence, it important improve understanding pollution-pollen-weather broaden public message. Combined analysis model simulation aeroallergens, presented here correctly evaluate burdens allow better forecast potential analyzing several well understood represents challenging task. This paper shows: (1) results data performed in Montreal for hospitalization complex factors, (2) using coupled weather-air quality (GEM-MACH) compared model-data fusion classical chemical species (e.g., near-surface ozone, nitrogen dioxide fine particulate matter) order spatiotemporal vulnerable zone
