There is a leading research in the emerging field of allergies and climate change. The increase of carbon dioxide in atmosphere and global warming are the result of the rise of burning fossil fuels appear to increase the growth of ragweed. And not only great ragweed is known to grow and produce more ragweed pollen, pollen is more allergenic based on this studies results.
It is obvious that there’s a connection between climate change and allergies. Experts examine the public health are having studied this subject in few years. There’s an increased frequency of allergies accident and people are getting poison ivy from global warming and climate change.
Studies demonstrate that CO2 levels have increased the level of tree pollen, a common source of allergies that are common in the spring. There are signs that warmer temperatures in Alaska have increased in the bee stings. This is bad news for people allergic to bee stings. Not even your basement will be safe: fungal spores also proliferate in warmer temperatures and thrive when carbon dioxide increases.
Based on studies by the National Library of Medicine, USA and study at Duke University, recently scientists are published fact that such as rising carbon dioxide - greenhouse gas emissions has deteriorated and allergy worsened levels of toxicity by Poison Ivy.
The effects of global warming and increased CO2 on allergies are also investigated by government agencies, scientists and doctors. National Environmental Protection Agency-Centre for Environmental Research invites proposals for climate change and studies of allergies to receive funding. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the main stage international authority on man-made warming and EPA both cited increased allergic reactions to climate change a growing concern and is reported in the 2007 publication.
High concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere are shown to be an allergen urushiol toxin in poison ivy. This is the reason that makes you itch. In addition, ragweed as a common cause of seasonal allergies symptoms in adults and children are lately known to produce more CO2 is increased pollen, creating more sneezing and asthma like symptoms. The CO2 gas produced by burning fossil fuels like oil and coal into gas, and is approximately 80% of greenhouse gas emissions caused by humans in our atmosphere. Scientists tell us that the pre-industrial revolution levels of CO2 is not more than 270 parts per million (ppm) for at least 800,000 years.
Scientists assure us that if we allow the increase in global temperature of 2.5 degrees, we will face catastrophic consequences of unchecked climate change.
