Thunderstorm asthma refers to the acute exacerbation of asthma triggered by extreme weather events, which poses life-threatening risks due to severe asthma attacks and strained medical resources. Recent climate changes, including global warming, the greenhouse effect, and increased carbon emissions, have increased the levels of environmental allergens, contributing to a higher incidence of asthma and other allergic diseases. In addition, the increasing frequency of thunderstorms has exacerbated the impact of thunderstorm asthma. There is an urgent need to establish prevention and control mechanisms, promote interdepartmental collaboration, and implement real-time monitoring of extreme weather events and allergen concentrations. Developing early warning systems and integrating medical services with public health departments for timely information sharing and coordinated responses can help reduce the incidence of thunderstorm asthma and reduce mortality.
雷暴性哮喘是指由极端天气事件引发的哮喘急性加重，由于严重的哮喘发作和紧张的医疗资源，会带来危及生命的风险。近期的气候变化，包括全球变暖、温室效应和碳排放增加，提高了环境过敏原水平，导致哮喘和其他过敏性疾病的发病率上升。此外，雷暴频率的增加加剧了雷暴性哮喘的影响。迫切需要建立预防和控制机制，促进部门间协作，并对极端天气事件和过敏原浓度进行实时监测。开发预警系统并将医疗服务与公共卫生部门整合以实现及时的信息共享和协调应对，有助于降低雷暴性哮喘的发病率并降低死亡率。
