"Invisible Killer": Seasonal Allergies and Accidents
Akesaka, Mika; Shigeoka, Hitoshi - 2023
Although at least 400 million people suffer from seasonal allergies worldwide, the adverse effects of pollen on "non-health" outcomes, such as cognition and productivity, are relatively understudied. Using ambulance archives from Japan, we demonstrate that high pollen days are associated with...

Rural households in a changing climate
Báez Ramírez, Javier Eduardo; Kronick, Dorothy; … - 2012
This paper argues that climate change poses two distinct, if related, sets of challenges for poor rural households: challenges related to the increasing frequency and severity of weather shocks and challenges related to long-term shifts in temperature, rainfall patterns, water availability, and...
