[CANUFNET] CANUFNET Digest, Vol 164, Issue 14 (plane trees and asthma)

[Amber Cantell via CANUFNET]

Hi Verna,

You might be able to find something useful by looking into OPALS ratings -
see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPALS_(Ogren_Plant_Allergy_Scale)
(Although I give the disclaimer that last time I used this years ago, I
found it difficult to find a trail between the OPALS rating for any given
species and the research backing it).

Technically that's for allergies as opposed to asthma, but I suspect
there'd be some relation as both relate to breathing and pollen.

Good luck!
Amber
