This review summarizes the available data related to the effects of air pollution on pollen
grains from different plant species. Several studies carried out either on in situ harvested …

Phenology is believed to be a suitable bio-indicator to track climate change. Based on the
strong statistical association between phenology and temperature phenological …

MoO3 nanobelts are synthesized by a simple hydrothermal route followed by carbon
coating. The effects of the carbon coating on the nanobelts are investigated by Raman …

Background Birch is a tree with a common occurrence in the environment and its organs are
used in the form of herbal material. An important aspect of this study is birch pollen, which is …

In this study chemical compositions of background aerosol and ice nuclei were examined
through laboratory investigations using Raman spectroscopy and field measurements by …

Roadside plant communities are especially exposed to air pollution, including a diverse
cocktail of potentially toxic compounds transported by particulates. Some groups of these …

From anther dehiscence to its atmospheric journey, airborne pollen grains can come into
contact with other particulate matter (PM) and the external wall of pollen grains can be …

Nowadays, pollen allergy becomes an increasing problem for human population. Common
mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris L.) is one of the major allergenic plants in Europe. In this study …

Carbon-coated SnO2–NiO nanocomposite was successfully synthesized via the molten salt
route, using SnCl2· H2O and NiCl2· 6H2O as the starting materials, with a molten salt …
