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

Aerobiology
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 ...

Relationships between aeroallergen levels and hospital admissions for asthma in the Brussels-Capital Region: a daily time series analysis

Environmental Health, 2018
Background Outdoor pollen grain and fungal spore concentrations have been associated with severe asthma exacerbations at the population level. The specific impact of each taxon and the concomitant effect of air pollution on these symptoms have, however ...

Birch Rust Spore Exposure and Upper Airway Symptom Dynamics in a Subarctic Region: Indications for a Novel Seasonal Allergen

Clinical and Translational Allergy, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Airway allergies affect 20%–30% of the global population, with pollen and fungal spores representing major environmental triggers. Although fungal spores are far more abundant than pollen, their allergenic role—particularly from phytopathogenic rust fungi such as birch rust (BR)—remains poorly understood.

A fungal perspective: Ecological reinterpretation of short‐term temporal variation in airborne eDNA

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2524-2528, August 2026.
Abstract Airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) is a powerful tool for assessing biodiversity, but its temporal dynamics and applicability to fungi remain poorly understood. Here we discuss how short‐term airborne eDNA variation should be interpreted for fungal communities.

Airborne Plant eDNA Reflects Local Biodiversity: A Multi‐Method Assessment in a Botanical Garden

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Botanical garden sampling site, three air‐sampling approaches, and three sequencing pipelines (amplicon, short‐, and long‐read shotgun). Results demonstrate strong agreement with known plant sources, high complementarity among methods, and substantial contributions of sub‐pollen particles to airborne plant eDNA.

Symptom probability increases at low pollen exposure in adolescents with allergic rhinitis findings from the GINIplus and LISA birth cohorts

Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, Volume 37, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Background Pollen‐induced allergic rhinitis increases significantly with age among children and adolescents and is associated with reduced quality of life due to symptom severity, social impacts, and decreased school performance. This study examines associations between pollen exposure and allergic rhinitis symptoms in German adolescents ...

Asbestos Fiber Measurements During Low Dust-Generating Work Processes

Aerobiology
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.

Biomonitoring of Indoor Air Fungal or Chemical Toxins with Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes

Pathogens, 2023
Bad indoor air quality due to toxins and other impurities can have a negative impact on human well-being, working capacity and health. Therefore, reliable methods to monitor the health risks associated with exposure to hazardous indoor air agents are ...

Aerobiology in Latin America: Past, Present and Future Directions for Atmospheric Pollen Surveillance

Aerobiology
Aeropalynology, the monitoring and interpretation of airborne pollen, has become increasingly relevant in Latin America as allergic rhinitis and asthma rise alongside rapid urbanization, land-use change, and climate variability. Yet the region’s capacity
