Pollutants Created by Climate Change Are Making Airborne Allergens More Potent

No wonder my sinuses are bothering me. It has only been in the past few years this has happened.

If you think your seasonal sneezing, wheezing and sniffling is getting worse, you aren’t simply imagining it.

Currently, some 50 million or so Americans suffer from nasal allergies, but the number is going up, and researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Germany say a pair of pollutants linked to climate change could be to blame. That’s according to a report in Science Daily.

The two gases are nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone, which appear to set off chemical changes in some airborne allergens, increasing their potency.

If the Democrats do not win the election of 2016, the world will come to an end, unless your allergies are related to your advanced old age.

My allergies have been better the last few years.
