Dr. Juanita Mora: 我是一名过敏症和免疫学家,我治疗各种年龄段的过敏症患者,包括环境过敏、哮喘、荨麻疹等。我的工作让我有机会与不同年龄段的患者及其家人互动,并进行社区健康教育。通过我的临床经验和研究,我发现过敏季正在变长,花粉浓度也在上升。这主要是因为大气中二氧化碳浓度增加,导致植物花粉产量增加。此外,气温上升也导致了季节重叠,延长了花粉季,使得过敏症状更加明显。例如,一项欧洲的研究估计,到2050年,空气中豚草花粉的浓度可能会比现在高出四倍。气候变化是导致这些变化的主要因素。 Britt Hansen: 通过与Dr. Mora的访谈,我了解到气候变化是导致过敏季加剧的主要原因。大气中二氧化碳浓度的增加直接导致了花粉产量的增加。同时,气温的上升使得花粉季开始得更早,持续时间更长,不同种类植物的花粉季节相互重叠,加剧了过敏症状。这些都与气候变化密切相关。 Maddie Safaya: 基于Dr. Mora和Britt的分析,我们可以明确的是,气候变化导致了过敏季的加剧,这不仅体现在过敏季时间的延长,更体现在花粉浓度的显著增加。这给过敏症患者带来了更大的困扰。 Dr. Juanita Mora: 为了减轻过敏症状,我建议过敏季期间避免开窗睡觉,外出时也应关闭车窗,以减少花粉接触。外出后应及时洗澡,清洗掉身上的花粉。同时,建议大家关注当地花粉浓度,并采取相应的防护措施。此外,佩戴口罩也能有效减少花粉的吸入,减轻过敏症状。

Plants are blooming right now – and so are people's allergies. And if it feels like those pesky symptoms are getting worse ... you're probably right. Wednesday, a review) published in the journal The Laryngoscope looked at the link between climate change and increasing rates of allergic rhinitis, or hay fever. So today, we turn back to a classic *Short Wave *episode from Brit Hanson and Maddie Sofia, who spoke to allergy expert Dr. Juanita Mora) about some quick tips for managing seasonal allergies.*Want more of the science behind your health questions?
