Date: August 25 Place: Room 5234 (oral), Room 6302 (poster) Organizers: Anand Bahadur Singh & Jae-Won Oh Contact email address: [email protected] Purpose: It is now well established that green house gases such as CO2, ozone and also global temperature is increasing all over the world. Records from long term data on pollen monitoring from several countries particularly Europe and USA reveal that the concentration and duration of airborne pollen in the air are increasing and this could be due to early and prolonged flowering season of allergenic pollen. The greater increase in concentration and duration leads to increased exposure of patients with respiratory problems with acute and severe respiratory problems. The increased incidence of respiratory allergic diseases all over the world including developing countries is also partially suspected to be due to global warming.

متن کاملAdaptation 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...
متن کاملEarly life rhinovirus wheezing, allergic sensitization, and asthma risk at adolescence.
BACKGROUND Early life rhinovirus (RV) wheezing illnesses and aeroallergen sensitization increase the risk of asthma at school age. Whether these remain risk factors for the persistence of asthma out to adolescence is not established. OBJECTIVE We sought to define the relationships among specific viral illnesses and the type and timing of aeroallergen sensitization with the persistence of asth...
متن کاملAeroallergen sensitization and allergic disease phenotypes in Asia.
Allergic diseases are on the rise in Asia. Aeroallergen exposure is a strong risk factor for sensitization, development and severity of atopic diseases, especially in the Asian paediatric population. Geographical and seasonal variations in aeroallergen sensitization are seen even within Asian countries and changes in aeroallergen sensitization patterns have been observed over time. Some possibl...
