  • Introduction: Allergies are known as adverse immune responses to environmental factors such as plant pollen, pollution and climate change. These factors can be effective in the intensity and type of these responses in different seasons. Investigating these factors leads to a better understanding of allergic mechanisms and can help to improve the treatment of these immune responses.
  • Methods: In this research, field data were collected from 20 patients with allergies in a specific area in the form of a response letter. Factors related to seasonal changes such as temperature, humidity, plant pollen and air pollution were recorded during four seasons of the year. Data analysis was performed using statistical software to determine the relationships between environmental variables and severity of allergic symptoms.
  • Results: The results of the response letters showed that in the spring season, due to the increase in the amount of plant pollen, the severity of allergic symptoms increases significantly. Also, these symptoms increase somewhat in the summer season due to the effect of air pollution and temperature rise. It should be noted that in autumn and winter, allergic symptoms appear with less severity, probably due to high humidity and low temperature.
  • Conclusion: Studies show that environmental variables in certain conditions can provide a suitable platform for allergic responses. Understanding these simple relationships helps doctors and specialists in this field to improve the management of patients' allergic symptoms by providing appropriate solutions.
