Prevalence of allergic diseases has been increasing due to multiple factors, among which climate change has had the most impact. Climate factors increase production of pollen, which also exhibits increased allergenicity. Also, as a result of climate change, there has been a shift in flowering phenology and pollen initiation causing prolonged pollen exposure. Various numerical models have been developed to understand the effect of climate change on pollen emission and transport and the impact on allergic airway diseases.
由于多种因素,过敏性疾病的患病率一直在上升,其中气候变化的影响最大。气候因素会增加花粉产量,花粉的致敏性也会增强。此外,气候变化导致了开花物候和花粉起始时间的变化,从而使花粉暴露时间延长。人们已经开发了各种数值模型来了解气候变化对花粉排放和传播的影响以及对过敏性气道疾病的影响。
