A new study from George Washington University reveals that climate change is intensifying and prolonging seasonal allergies by lengthening pollen seasons globally. The research indicates that warming conditions could lead to an increase of up to 40% in total pollen production in the US by the century's end, with allergy seasons starting earlier and lasting up to 19 extra days. The study highlights the role of rising temperatures and CO2 levels in altering plant growth and pollen release, exacerbating allergic reactions and asthma attacks. Medical professionals are urged to understand these changes to better prepare patients. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
