Fungal spores make up a significant portion of Primary Biological Aerosol Particles (PBAPs)
with large quantities of such particles noted in the air. Fungal particles are of interest …

Training, quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) play an important role in building
competence in monitoring and research in aerobiology. The main goals of this paper were …

Public awareness of the rising importance of allergies and other respiratory diseases has
led to increased scientific effort to accurately and rapidly monitor and predict pollen, fungal …

To benefit allergy patients and the medical practitioners, pollen information should be
available in both a reliable and timely manner; the latter is only recently possible due to …

Background: Pollen are monitored in Europe by a network of about 400 pollen traps, all
operated manually. To date, automated pollen monitoring has only been feasible in areas …

Exposure to allergens is pivotal in determining sensitization and allergic symptoms in
individuals. Pollen grain counts in ambient air have traditionally been assessed to estimate …

Hirst-type volumetric spore traps are used across the globe and are the current standard
instrument for monitoring pollen. While they suffer from various issues related to sampling …

We explored the temporal and spatial variations in airborne Alternaria spore quantitative
and phenological features in Europe using 23 sites with annual time series between 3 and …

Background Information about airborne pollen concentrations is required by a range of end
users, particularly from the health sector who use both observations and forecasts to …

We propose here the hypothesis that all of United Kingdom (UK) is likely to be affected by
Ganoderma sp. spores, an important plant pathogen. We suggest that the main sources of …
