The Allergy epidemic threatens the whole of Eurasia. The reason is the rapid proliferation of dangerous plants-"invader" - ambrosia.
Scientists capture the rising incidence of allergies in temperate latitudes the result of global warming and the related spread of invasive plant species. Later, the situation only gets worse, convince environmentalists. European researchers claim to have formed the climate dilemma - the spread of ragweed plants-the invader from North America, the pollen of which is considered to be one of the most dangerous natural allergens.
On the terrain of our country it was leaked in the 60-ies, once in the Crimea and spread to the South of the Russian Federation through Ukraine. During flowering ragweed, many inhabitants of Stavropol and Kuban are forced to leave their own building and move to big cities or other regions of the state.
Scientists, including Russian citizen Dmitry Khvorostyanov from the Institute of atmospheric physics Russian Academy of Sciences, has studied how the wind carries the seeds of ragweed and how it grows in different latitudes, with the help of computer models that predict the subsequent developments up to 2050. The results were frightening: after 35 years this plant will be captured virtually all of Europe, including the British Isles and Scandinavia, where ambrosia is currently virtually no.
The average concentration of pollen in the atmosphere will grow in 4, maybe 12 times, if the worst predictions come true. Largely it won power in South and Central Europe, and Ukraine and Russia, reports RIA Novosti. If this task will not do the authorities of these countries, Eurasia faces an epidemic of allergies. The problem is that ambrosia is very quickly adapts to the herbicides and virtually always grows again after cutting, which complicates its destruction.
