چکیده
This manuscript deals with an important and interesting topic: the simulation of regional-scale pollen dispersal in a highly populated region of Southern California. Pollen allergies are among the most common respiratory allergies, and they are likely to become an even greater concern as the incidence of allergies rises. Studies such as this one could potentially be used to guide public health efforts to reduce exposure to allergens. In addition, such a model framework could be used to study the interactions

Development of a regional-scale pollen emission and transport modeling framework for investigating the impact of climate change on allergic airway disease.
Exposure to bioaerosol allergens such as pollen can cause exacerbations of allergenic airway disease (AAD) in sensitive populations, and thus cause serious public health problems. Assessing these health impacts by linking the airborne pollen levels, concentrations of respirable allergenic material, and human allergenic response under current and future climate conditions is a key step toward de...
متن کاملClimate Change Impact on Precipitation Extreme Events in Uncertainty Situation; Passing from Global Scale to Regional Scale
Global warming and then climate change are important topics studied by researchers throughout the world in the recent decades. In these studies, climatic parameters changes are investigated. Considering large-scaled output of AOGCMs and low precision in computational cells, uncertainty analysis is one of the principles in doing hydrological studies. For this reason, it is tried that investigati...
متن کاملThe impacts of climate change and meteorological factors on pollen season indicators of allergenic plant taxa
Pollen respiratory allergies have been increasing in prevalence over the last two decades, partly as the result of the impact of climate change. For many allergenic trees, grass and weed species, increased pollen production and prolonged pollination period result in long-term increased abundance of pollen allergens in the atmosphere; earlier shifts of airborne pollen grains and prolonged exposu...

متن کاملThe food-energy-water nexus: A framework for sustainable development modeling
Energy, water, and food are facing present and future challenges triggered by climate change, population growth, human behavior, and economics. Management strategies for energy, water, and food are possible through policies, technology, and related education. However, the links between resources (energy, water, and food) and impacting factors (population increase, human behavior, economics, and...
