Desert dust intrusions cause the transport of airborne particulate matter from natural
sources, with important consequences for climate regulation, biodiversity, ecosystem …

This chapter reviews the present knowledge and previous developments concerning the
pollen transport in the atmosphere. Numerous studies are classified according to the spatial …

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 …

Operational pollen monitoring networks have developed across Europe, and the world more
generally, in response to the increasing prevalence of pollen allergy and asthma. Routine …

Climate change and exposure to environmental pollutants play a key role in the onset and
aggravation of allergic diseases. As different climate-dependent patterns of molecular …

Pollen grains are among the main causes of respiratory allergies worldwide and hence they
are routinely monitored in urban environments. However, their sources can be located …

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

The long-range atmospheric transport models of pollen and fungal spores require four
modules for their development:(i) Meteorological module: which contain the meteorological …

The state of a slightly supercooled ephemeral cloud can be changed by the presence of a
few particles capable of catalysing freezing, and potentially result in precipitation. We …

Airborne bio-aerosol content (mainly pollen and spores) depends on the surrounding
vegetation and weather conditions, particularly wind direction. In order to understand this …
