Pollution is a big cause of sneezing, and a 2015 study from the Max Planck Institute of Chemistry indicated that nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone are triggers for allergies, particularly when combined with humid environments, and numerous studies have linked climate change to an increase in allergies.
