Common European Plant Pollens Trigger Asthma Emergencies
High levels of airborne grass pollens trigger surges in severe asthma attacks that require emergency admission to hospital, suggests research published in Thorax. The research was carried out between 1995 and 1998 in the Spanish city of Madrid, which has high levels of different types of airborne pollens. Emergency admissions for respiratory... view more...
