Patterns of Allergy-Related Healthcare Utilization and Medicine Consumption in Relation to Aeroallergen Exposure

open access: yesAerobiology
Allergic rhinitis and asthma remain major public-health challenges, with airborne pollen serving as a key environmental driver. This study investigates the temporal association between aeroallergen exposure, patient healthcare utilization, and allergy ...

Asbestos Fiber Measurements During Low Dust-Generating Work Processes

open access: yesAerobiology
The Danish asbestos executive order defines a range of situations and work processes that require no protective measures, due to an assumption of low dust generation and therefore negligible exposure to asbestos fibers.

Quality of the Governing Temperature Variables in WRF in relation to Simulation of Primary Biological Aerosols

open access: yesAdvances in Meteorology, 2015
We have evaluated three prognostic variables in Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, mean daily temperature, daily maximum temperature, and daily minimum temperature using 9 months of model simulations at 36 and 12 km resolution, and compared ...

Impact of Bioaerosol Particles on Atmospheric Charging/Discharging and Conductivity in the Global Electric Circuit (GEC)

open access: yesAerobiology
Understanding the dynamics of atmospheric ions, the carriers of electrons and ions in the global electric circuit (GEC), is necessary to fully understand Earth’s atmospheric electricity. Because atmospheric ions are too small to be influenced by gravity,
