气候变化是一个持续不断的过程。据推测，人类活动已经达到了我们正在造成全球气候变化的程度。本文提供了一些建议，以帮助过敏症专家/环境医生将有关改善室外和室内空气质量的建议以及对地球环境预测变化的可能反应纳入患者的治疗计划。许多影响呼吸系统疾病的变化是可以预见的。应对气候变化的例子包括：对住宅进行节能改造，这可能会影响对过敏原和刺激物的接触;更多的炎热晴天会增加与臭氧有关的困难;海平面上升或降雨模式改变会增加对潮湿室内环境的接触。气候变化也会影响生态系统，表现为在新的地区出现刺和咬节肢动物。更高的环境二氧化碳浓度、更温暖的温度和植物区系的变化可能会增加对豚草和其他户外过敏原的暴露，而堆肥等绿色做法可能会增加过敏原和刺激物的暴露。最后，能源成本增加可能导致城市拥挤和人为污染，导致传染性呼吸道疾病模式的变化。改善政府对空气污染物的控制可能会导致更清洁的空气和减少呼吸道疾病，但由于其对企业生产力的影响，将遭到强烈反对。因此，过敏社区必须适应，因为医生和研究科学家总是有，通过预测患者的需求，并通过采用实践和研究方法，以满足不断变化的环境条件。
Climate change is a constant and ongoing process. It is postulated that human activities have reached a point at which we are producing global climate change. This article provides suggestions to help the allergist/environmental physician integrate recommendations about improvements in outdoor and indoor air quality and the likely response to predicted alterations in the earth’s environment into their patient’s treatment plan. Many changes that affect respiratory disease are anticipated. Examples of responses to climate change include energy reduction retrofits in homes that could potentially affect exposure to allergens and irritants, more hot sunny days that increase ozone-related difficulties, and rises in sea level or altered rainfall patterns that increase exposure to damp indoor environments. Climate changes can also affect ecosystems, manifested as the appearance of stinging and biting arthropods in new areas. Higher ambient carbon dioxide concentrations, warmer temperatures, and changes in floristic zones could potentially increase exposure to ragweed and other outdoor allergens, whereas green practices such as composting can increase allergen and irritant exposure. Finally, increased energy costs may result in urban crowding and human source pollution, leading to changes in patterns of infectious respiratory illnesses. Improved governmental controls on airborne pollutants could lead to cleaner air and reduced respiratory diseases but will meet strong opposition because of their effect on business productivity. The allergy community must therefore adapt, as physician and research scientists always have, by anticipating the needs of patients and by adopting practices and research methods to meet changing environmental conditions.
