Rosalind Wright and Jeffrey Demain bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Climate Change and Allergy. Warming temperatures and increasing carbon dioxide from fossil fuels are contributing to more intense allergies. In this issue, top experts discuss the effects of climate change, including its impacts to food, water, and both indoor and outdoor air.
- Contains 11 relevant, practice-oriented topics including nutrition and ecology; exposome and chemical exposure related to climate-related weather changes[RM1] ; psychological impacts of climate change and atopic disease; climate change and food allergy; extreme weather and asthma; and more.
- Provides in-depth clinical reviews on climate change and allergy, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.
- Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
