Climate change can affect the frequency and severity of asthma and allergies, especially among vulnerable populations, according to an article published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
“This article is an update for allergists and immunologists about the health impacts of climate change, already evident in our daily practices. It is also a call to action and advocacy, including integrating climate change related mitigation, education and adaptation measures to protect our patients and avert further injury to our planet,” Susan E. Pacheco, MD, professor of pediatrics at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Medical School and pediatric immunologist/allergist at Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital and Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, and colleagues wrote.
