[CANUFNET] London Plane trees and asthma

[Mark B via CANUFNET]

What about all the asthmatic people like me who suffer from pollution without trees in over heated urban climates?  
As a long term asthmatic I know that an allergen of tree species pollen does not cause and asthma attack. It is a series of allergens from many different types of pollen 

I think spending money on reducing pollution would be a better use of funds. 

Plantanus species produce pollen therefore it will cause some asthmatics to have a pollen allergy. 

Allergists doctors conduct tests on individuals who suffer and then if required, have a series of injections of the small amount allergens, this treatment had a great deal of success. 

Good luck with you studies, I will be interested in read your results.
