If your allergy is to pollen then you are affected by the lack of cold winters. I've gone from intermittent allergy medication to full-time in the past two years. I've also spoken with other people who never had allergies before and who are developing symptoms.
At least pollen is natural. I'm concerned about the whittling away of the clean air act and what that will mean for real pollutants in the air.
Has anyone ever measured the economic effects of air pollution (medicine, ER visits, lost workdays, people staying indoors and not shopping, etc) to balance the "If we ease up on pollution regulations we can stimulate the economy" rationale?
