There is clear evidence that climate change is occurring as there has been an acceleration of global temperatures since the mid-nineteenth century along with rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. It has been proposed that one of the most significant consequences of climate change on human health could be the impact on aeroallergens. Evidence from around globe has pointed to longer and more abundant pollen season associated with global warming. Additional studies have also suggested increased pollen allergenicity due to air pollution.
