Aerosol Measurements and Decadal Changes: The Role of Climatic Changes and How It Reflects in Respiratory Allergies and Asthma. [PDF]

Allergy
ABSTRACT The causative agents of respiratory allergies are bioaerosols, such as house dust mite feces, pollen grains, and fungal spores. Climate change and urbanization are considered to lead to an increase in the load of allergenic bioaerosols due to impacts on plant phenophases and allergenicity. Continuous and efficient monitoring of the atmospheric

Aerobiology matters: Why people in the community access pollen information and how they use it. [PDF]

Clin Transl Allergy
Abstract Background Globally, many pollen monitoring networks provide the community with daily pollen information, but there are limited data on health consumer uses and benefits. This research investigated why individuals in the community access pollen information, how they use it, and the perceived benefits. Methods In‐ and post‐pollen season surveys
