近几十年来，哮喘发病率、患病率和发病率的增加对公共卫生提出了重大挑战。花粉是某些类型哮喘的重要触发因素，花粉的数量和季节都取决于气候和气象变量。在全球哮喘病发病率上升的同一时期，大气中二氧化碳浓度和全球平均地表温度也大幅上升。我们假设人为气候变化是哮喘发病率上升的一个合理因素。更高浓度的二氧化碳和更高的温度可能会增加花粉数量，并导致更长的花粉季节。花粉过敏性也会因气候的这些变化而增加。在生命早期暴露于更易致敏的环境也可能引起其他特应性疾病的发展，如湿疹和过敏性鼻炎。虽然哮喘的病因很复杂，但最近全球哮喘的上升可能是人为气候变化对健康的早期影响。
The increase in asthma incidence, prevalence, and morbidity over recent decades presents a significant challenge to public health. Pollen is an important trigger of some types of asthma, and both pollen quantity and season depend on climatic and meteorologic variables. Over the same period as the global rise in asthma, there have been considerable increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and global average surface temperature. We hypothesize anthropogenic climate change as a plausible contributor to the rise in asthma. Greater concentrations of carbon dioxide and higher temperatures may increase pollen quantity and induce longer pollen seasons. Pollen allergenicity can also increase as a result of these changes in climate. Exposure in early life to a more allergenic environment may also provoke the development of other atopic conditions, such as eczema and allergic rhinitis. Although the etiology of asthma is complex, the recent global rise in asthma could be an early health effect of anthropogenic climate change.
