Asthma management: A call to action in a changing environmental paradigm
Abstract
This review article examines the impact of environmental changes on asthma prevalence and severity, emphasizing the need for proactive management strategies. It explores the various environmental triggers of asthma, including air pollution, allergens, and indoor air quality. Additionally, it discusses the influence of climate change on asthma, specifically addressing the increased pollen season, extreme weather events, and heat-related effects. The article concludes by advocating for environmental policies, public awareness campaigns, healthcare provider guidance, and community engagement as crucial components of a comprehensive approach to asthma management in the face of a changing environmental paradigm.
