Impacts of climate change on aeroallergens

Adaptation to Impacts of Climate Change on Aeroallergens and Allergic Respiratory Diseases

Climate change has the potential to have many significant impacts on aeroallergens such as pollen and mould spores, and therefore related diseases such as asthma and allergic rhinitis. This paper critically reviews this topic, with a focus on the potential adaptation measures that have been identified to date. These are aeroallergen monitoring; aeroallergen forecasting; allergenic plant managem...

Climate change, aeroallergens, and pediatric allergic disease.

The degree to which aeroallergens are contributing to the global increase in pediatric allergic disease is incompletely understood. We review the evidence that links climate change to changes in aeroallergens such as pollen and outdoor mold concentrations and, subsequently, aeroallergen association with pediatric allergic disease. We specifically explore the evidence on both the exacerbation an...

ISSN: 1652-6880, ISBN: 978-91-576-7388-6 It is well known that soil carbon stocks decrease considerably in response to soil warming, but experimental data have shown that the loss of carbon declines within decades in apparent acclimation. An explanation to such findin...

Climate ChanGe and aeroallerGens in south afriCa

Climate change and its effects on aeroallergens and allergic disease have been extensively studied in the northern hemisphere, but there has been a dearth of similar studies in the southern hemisphere. Aeroallergens are extremely sensitive to certain weather parameters and changes may increase or decrease their levels in the atmosphere. Climate change projections include global warming, an incr...
