Detailed information is supplied on allergenic plants and on the complex associations between pollen allergy and local weather conditions, air pollution, and climate change. Readers will learn how climate change in particular is impacting on pollen concentrations, pollen allergenicity, the pollen season, and plant and pollen distribution. A further important feature is the presentation of a forecasting system for allergenic pollens that takes into account a variety of meteorological factors and is designed to be of benefit to allergy patients. This up-to-date scientific knowledge is complemented by clear guidance on all aspects of the management of pollen allergy. The closing chapters address global trends in allergy research and future prospects for pollen allergy. The book will appeal both to researchers seeking state of the art information on the topic and to clinicians wishing to optimize patient care. 606 $aRespiratory organs$xDiseases 606 $aImmunology 606 $aPneumology 606 $aImmunology 615 0$aRespiratory organs$xDiseases. 615 0$aImmunology. 615 14$aPneumology. 615 24$aImmunology. 676 $a616.97 700 $aOh$b Jae-Won$0787334 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910768194803321 996 $aPollen Allergy in a Changing World$91754023 997 $aUNINA
