Allergy

I have being working with an allergist for almost eight years; the majority of our patients used to be adults; however the past two years the number of children seen at the clinic have being increasing. I notice that now children at the age of eighteen months have allergy problems. What is causing this? Dr. Mahdavie always says that is the environment where they live, here in Simi valley the weather is windy and dry, that maybe one of the causes another could be the contamination in California is getting worse every year. We need to be conscious about it because what is going to happen in five more years,probably there will be an increase of patient being diagnosed with asthma or COPD(chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and this problem will be affecting our children.
