Allergies

The Respiratory system

and carbon dioxide between an organism and the environment.

The respiratory system is involved in the intake and exchange of oxygen

Dust, mold and pet dander are common triggers for allergies that affect the respiratory system

An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to a substance that's harmless to most people. But in someone with an allergy, the body's immune system treats the substance (called an allergen) as an invader and over reacts, causing symptoms that can range from annoying to serious or life threatening.
