Abstract: Hayfever is a form of allergic rhinitis. It comes and goes with the seasons: the flowering seasons of trees and grasses, and the sporing seasons of fungi. Air pollution will aggravate the irritation and swelling of airways. Studies show that pollution increases the sensitivity to allergens. Pollen cells rupture during and after rain and during lightning. They release a large number of allergen-containing granules. Because pollen and spores float easily in the air, updraughts and wind play a vital role in distributing the particles. Air movements carry the allergens high into the atmosphere and spread them over a large area. Cool and humid air for most of the day will discourage the allergens to travel.
