"Climate change has caused melting icebergs, flooding, and landslides. It can
also bring about an increase in pollen levels, prolong the duration of pollen
season, and cause more pollen-related health problems.
Pollen grains landing on the moist membranes of the nose or eyes cause “hay
fever” (allergic rhinitis) in one in five people. This often leads to a runny
or blocked nose and itchy eyes.
During the pollen season, people with asthma are at greater risk of a flare-up.
Pollen can also trigger thunderstorm asthma, even in those who haven’t been
diagnosed with asthma and hay fever."
