Asthma admissions and thunderstorms: a study of pollen, fungal spores, rainfall, and ozone

摘要

Asthma admissions have been reported to increase during thunderstorms. In some cases, this has been attributed to rises in pollen or fungal spore counts occurring alone or in combination with rainfall. We tested the hypothesis that thunderstorms In general are associated with asthma admissions, And investigated the possible roles of pollen, fungal Spores, ozone, and other meteorological factors.
