Climate change and human impact on vegetation modify the timing and the intensity of the
pollen season. The 50 years of pollen monitoring in Basel, Switzerland provide a unique …

The effect of height on pollen concentration is not well documented and little is known about
the near-ground vertical profile of airborne pollen. This is important as most measuring …

Grass pollen is a leading cause of allergy in many countries, particularly Europe. Although
many elements of grass pollen production and dispersal are quite well researched, gaps still …

For nearly a decade, the majority of the world's population has been living in cities, including
a considerable percentage of people suffering from pollen allergy. The increasing …

Airborne pollen concentrations are influenced by wind direction, wind speed, temperature
and rainfall among other meteorological variables, but they are conditioned by local land …

Airborne pollen can trigger allergic reactions, but exposure is poorly understood because
neither regional pollen models nor monitoring networks adequately capture the extensive …

Pollen grains emitted by urban vegetation are the main primary biological airborne particles
(PBAPs) which alter the biological quality of urban air and have a significant impact on …

Identifying the origin of bioaerosols is of central importance in many biological disciplines,
such as human health, agriculture, forestry, aerobiology and conservation. Modelling …
