2 Objective Environmental changes Air pollution Pollen Health effects Asthma and allergies Health Impact 2
3 Climate change - exposures Ozone higher ozone ground levels Pollen earlier start of the season, more pollen, alternated pollen Common Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) Oak Processionary Moth (Thaumetopoea processionea) In higher altitudes house dust mite 3
4 Climate change changes! time spent indoor/outdoor -> exposure to various air pollutants pattern of infectious diseases different ventilation rates -> mold behaviour e.g. outdoor sports 4
5 Climate change - pollen CO 2 -> plant biomass & pollen production temperature -> earlier flowering and longer pollen seasons for some plants ambient CO2 -> some plant products allergenic Shea KM, Truckner RT, Weber RW, Peden DB. Climate change and allergic disease. J Allergy Clin Immunol Sep;122(3):443-53; quiz
6 Climate change - pollen Pollen season -> longer (6 to 19 days) Trees (birch) earlier Herbs longer Due to expected temperature rise -> pollen season can become even longer Eis D, Helm D, Laussmann D, Stark K. [Climate change and health]. Berlin: Robert Koch Institut;
7 Climate change birch pollen Karl-Christian Bergmann, Aufkommen der allergologisch wichtigsten Pollen in Deutschland von 1999 bis 2010, Berlin,
8 Health effects - allergens Allergens are natural substances, e.g. pollen Allergens are usually well tolerated by the immune system Allergy is the pathological answer of the immune system against allergens 8
9 Health effects - risk factors for atopic diseases no yes 10 % Genetic Predisposition One parent Both parents 20 % 60 % Environ. Factors Allergens Bjorksten B.: Risk factors in early childhood for the development of atopic diseases. Allergy Jul;49(6):400-7.
10 Health effects - atopic diseases Asthma Allergic rhinitis / hay fever Allergic conjunctivitis Atopic dermatitis Food allergies 10
11 Health effects - asthma Chronic inflammatory lung disease Wheezing, coughing, breathlessness Triggers: Allergens (pollen, animal hair, house dust) Infections Exposure to molds Exercise, changes in the weather Exposure to airway irritants (tobacco smoke, ozone, and other air pollutants) Ebi KL, Paulson JA. Climate change and child health in the United States. Curr Probl Pediatr Adolesc Health Care Jan;40(1):
12 Health effects possible changes in triggers Triggers related to climate change Allergens (pollen, animal hair, house dust) Infections Exposure to molds Exercise, changes in the weather Exposure to airway irritants (tobacco smoke, ozone, and other air pollutants) 12
13 Ozone levels and asthma Warmer air temperature > ground levels of O 3 O 3 : pulmonary irritant -> inflammation -> pneumonia, allergic rhinitis, asthma long term and short term asthma Ebi KL, Paulson JA. Climate change and child health in the United States. Curr Probl Pediatr Adolesc Health Care Jan;40(1):2-18. D'Amato G, Cecchi L, D'Amato M, Liccardi G. Urban air pollution and climate change as environmental risk factors of respiratory allergy: an update. J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol. 2010;20(2):
14 Fine particles and pollen Airborne allergens bind fine particles allergen aerosols derive, which have an additional allergenic potential Foto: Prof. Heidrun Behrendt/Helmholtz Zentrum München, Klinische Kooperationsgruppe Umweltdermatologie und Allergologie, aus 14
15 Particles and asthma Warmer air temperature > levels of PM (particulate matter) PM penetrate lower airways -> wheezing, bronchitis, LRTI, asthma Esp. diesel exhaust particles (DEP) -> interaction between DEP & aeroallergens -> IgE 15
16 Health effects ragweed plus diesel exhaust particles Effect of ragweed or ragweed plus DEP on IgE levels in nasal washes over time. Diaz-Sanchez D, Tsien A, Fleming J, Saxon A. Combined diesel exhaust particulate and ragweed allergen challenge markedly enhances human in vivo nasal ragweed-specific IgE and skews cytokine production to a T helper cell 2- type pattern. J Immunol Mar 1;158(5):
17 Invasive plants allergens e.g. Ragweed (Ambrosia) Ragweed likes dry and sunny places, e.g. roadsides flourishing July to October per plant up to 1 Mio. pollen highly sensitizing asthma rate twice as high compared to other pollen cross reaction common Vorkommen der Ambrosia artemisiifolia an einem Autobahnabschnitt Bildautor: S.Nawarath & B. Alberternst, Projektgruppe Biodiversität, J.W. Goethe-Universität Frankfurt,

21 New airborne allergens Oak Processionary Moth Insects preferring warmer temperatures -> New airborne allergens advancing Oak Processionary moth Caterpillars live in oak trees Poisonous setae (hairs) Skin irritation, asthma.
22 New airborne allergens Oak Processionary Moth Skin reaction strong itchiness contact urticaria dermatitis Conjunctivitis Allergic reactions of airways Anaphylactic shock Fever, feeling unwell
23 Increased aero allergens, increased illness Length of pollen season increasing significantly Seeking medical consultation OR 2.69 ( ) day of high pollen counts OR 2.48 ( ) 5 days after high pollen counts Breton, Sci Tot Envr (2006) 370:39-50
24 Climate change impact on allergies Potential mechanism by which climate change could impact pediatric allergic disease Sheffield PE, Weinberger KR, Kinney PL. Climate change, aeroallergens, and pediatric allergic disease. Mt Sinai J Med Jan-Feb;78(1):
25 Impact on health care Rare diseases will become more common Ambrosia related allergy Oak Processionary Moth dermatitis Asthma incidence will increase related costs as well health care systems need to be prepared for this increase 25
