TLDR
Air pollutants may promote airway sensitization by modulating the allergenicity of airborne allergens, and airway mucosal damage and impaired mucociliary clearance induced by air pollution may facilitate the access of inhaled allergens to the cells of the immune system.About:

TL;DR: Even though pollen production and dispersal from year to year depend on the patterns of preseason weather and on the conditions prevailing at the time of anthesis, it is usually possible to forecast the chances of encountering high atmospheric allergenic pollen concentrations in different areas.

TL;DR: Global warming is expected to affect the start, duration, and intensity of the pollen season, and the rate of asthma exacerbations due to air pollution, respiratory infections, and/or cold air inhalation, and other conditions on the other hand.

An Association between Air Pollution and Mortality in Six U.S. Cities
Douglas W. Dockery,C A Pope rd,X Xu,John D. Spengler,James H. Ware,Martha E. Fay,Benjamin G. Ferris,Frank E. Speizer +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that fine-particulate air pollution, or a more complex pollution mixture associated with fine particulate matter, contributes to excess mortality in certain U.S. cities.

Particulate air pollution as a predictor of mortality in a prospective study of U.S. adults.
C A Pope rd,Michael J. Thun,M. M. Namboodiri,Douglas W. Dockery,John S. O. Evans,Frank E. Speizer,C. W. Heath +6 more
TL;DR: Increased mortality is associated with sulfate and fine particulate air pollution at levels commonly found in U.S. cities, although the increase in risk is not attributable to tobacco smoking, although other unmeasured correlates of pollution cannot be excluded with certainty.

Particulate air pollution and acute health effects
TL;DR: It is suggested that ultra-fine particles in the nature of the urban particulate cloud are able to provoke alveolar inflammation, with release of mediators capable, in susceptible individuals, of causing exacerbations of lung disease and of increasing blood coagulability, thus also explaining the observed increases in cardiovascular deaths associated with urban pollution episodes.

TL;DR: A descriptive account of the variation in self-reported attacks of asthma and asthma symptoms across Europe, and the best evidence to date that geographical differences in asthma prevalence exist, are substantial and are not an artefact of the use of noncomparable methods is presented.
