Abstract
- Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a type of rhinitis accompanied by sensitization to allergens. One of the most clinically important allergens is pollen. Recently, due to climate change and CO 2 air pollution, the flowering period starts earlier and persists longer. In addition, antigenicity due to environmental pollution is also being strengthened. As a result, the sensitization rate to pollen antigens is on the rise. It is known that the prevalence of AR especially caused by pollen is rapidly escalating. Although the causal relationship between pollen exposure and the severity of rhinitis is not precisely established, an association of rhinitis symptoms with the time of pollen scattering exists. In addition, the mixed effect of environmental pollution and pollen may play a role in the development of rhinitis symptoms. Therefore, in order to avoid pollen, it is necessary to constantly improve pollen forecast and minimize the contact with pollen indoors and outdoors. Treatment of AR should be performed according to guidelines. Also, continuous efforts to solve the environmental problems affecting the ecology of pollen are needed.
