Descrição: There is a body of evidence which suggests that the frequency of atopic diseases--particularly those induced by pollen allergens (rhinoconjunctivitis and/or bronchial asthma)--is increasing because of interaction with air pollution; in fact, atopic diseases have become more common during the past two decades. Irritant gases and airborne matter have both adjuvant activity for specific IgE production against common allergens in experimental animals and enhancing effects on allergic symptoms in sensitized subjects. This trend is also evident in the Mediterraneans, where the climate, characterized by mild winters and dry summers, facilitates the growing of a characteristic vegetation with the production of various types of allergenic pollen, some of which are different from those of central and northern Europe.
