Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, the explosive process of urbanization dramatically affected environmental exposures. Air pollution has a signi...ficant impact on human health and contributes to the development of respiratory disease. Global climate change affects the distribution of allergens and increases the frequency and intensity of extreme climate events. This issue is dedicated to increase awareness of an impact of climate change on allergic diseases. Cover art by Prof. Susan L. Prescott conveys the message and illustrates the scientific content of this issue. In this issue, D’Amato and Akdis introduce the articles that are lined up in the issue in their editorial and emphasise the interrelationships between climate change, air pollution and human health with a focus on allergies. Galán and Thibaudon describe the magnitude of climate changes influencing airborne pollen exposures and affecting the sensitized population. Brandt et al. demonstrate that IL-33 contributes to diesel pollution-mediated increase in experimental asthma severity. Prescott discusses allergy as a measure of planetary health and biodiversity loss. Eguiluz-Gracia et al. summarize the effects of air pollution and climate change on asthma and allergic rhinitis, and address the policy adjustments and lifestyle changes required to mitigate their deleterious effects. Cecchi et al. discuss the effect of environmental exposures on #allergy and asthma. Kim et al. present epidemiologic evidence for the impact of air pollution on airway innate immune cells, especially group 2 innate lymphoid cells, in human asthma. Prunicki et al. investigate the effects of forest fire exposure on the markers of oxidative stress and inflammasome activation. Hew et al. test the Knox hypothesis to determine whether levels of sensitization to ryegrass pollen have diagnostic utility for predicting risk of epidemic thunderstorm #asthma. #climatechange #airpollution #allergicrhinitis #respiratorydisease #lymphoidcells #immunecells journalallergy.com
