德国马克斯普朗克研究所的一项研究显示,在过敏季节,空气污染伴有气候变化是一对影响人们打喷嚏、鼻塞和哮喘的主因。该研究发现,气体、二氧化氮和地面级的臭氧在一定的过敏源中引起某些化学变化,增加了这种效应。与全球气候变化相结合,可以有助于解释为什么过敏越来越流行。马克斯普朗克研究所乌尔里希博士说:“科学家一致怀疑空气污染和气候变化导致了全世界范围过敏患病率的增加。但这一现象背后的化学过程难以被证明。我们开始着手研究在过 A study by the Max Planck Institute in Germany shows that air pollution is associated with climate change during the allergy season and is a major contributor to people sneezing, stuffy nose and asthma. The study found that gas, nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone cause some chemical changes in certain allergens that increase this effect. Combined with global climate change, it can help explain why allergies are becoming more prevalent. Dr. Ulrich of the Max Planck Institute said: ”Scientists are unanimously suspicious of air pollution and climate change that have led to an increase in the prevalence of allergies worldwide, but the chemistry behind this phenomenon is hard to justify. Research is over
