Climate change has been identified as the biggest global health threat of the twenty-first century. Hundreds of millions of people around the world currently suffer from allergic diseases such as asthma and allergic rhinitis (hay fever), and the prevalence of these diseases is increasing. This book is the first authoritative and comprehensive assessment of the many impacts of climate change on allergens, such as pollen and mould spores, and allergic diseases. The international authorship team of leaders in this field explore the topic to a breadth and depth far beyond any previous work. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in climate change, environmental allergens, and related allergic diseases. It is written at a level that is accessible for those working in related physical, biological, and health and medical sciences, including researchers, academics, clinicians, and advanced students.
Read more- An in-depth and comprehensive assessment from which readers will gain a complete picture of the impacts of climate change on allergens and allergic diseases
- The topic is approached from a global/international perspective, and readers will gain a complete picture of the topic rather than that for just one region or nation
- Both past and future impacts of climate change on allergens and allergic diseases are examined, helping readers to understand the impacts that have already happened and that we are currently living with, as well as projections for the future
- Each chapter considers knowledge gaps and research priorities, showing the directions in which research efforts are required in the future
