INFLUENCE OF THE AIR POLLUTION WITH POLLEN ON THE HEALTH OF THE POPULATION IN NW PART OF ROMANIA
Journal Title: Natural Resources and Sustainable Development - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Pollen, allergens derived from a plant, is a natural component of the atmosphere and its abundance is influenced by the human activity, the environmental conditions and the geographical environment. In Romania's spontaneous flora there is a large number of potentially allergenic plants, including both herbaceous and woody species. Among them some have become allergenic only in recent years, while others give more severe reactions. The changes of the climate and air pollution causes modifications in both quality and quantity of air pollution on pollen. In Romania, a large number of people suffer from allergic diseases. Pollen allergy prevalence is high, about 50%, and its incidence is growing. This study examines the prevalence of allergies in the north-west of Romania, during a year, depending on the timing of the main pollen allergens species in this part of the country.
