Abstract:
... The present study explores the role of the meteorological variability in the pollen production and the timing of the airborne pollen season by analysis of the correlation between precipitation, insolation and temperature and the main standardised airborne pollen parameters of 22 taxa collected at 6 localities in Catalonia (NE Spain). The pollen parameters included in the study were: Annual Pollen ...

Abstract:
... One limitation in air sampling of airborne microorganisms is their inactivation by forceful impaction and/or dehydration during the collection process. Proper inhalation risk assessments require proof of viability, as non-viable microorganisms cannot cause infectious diseases. In this study, laboratory-generated aerosols of a vegetative bacterium (E. coli) or yeast (S. kudriavzevii) were collected ...

Abstract:
... Pollen calendars are one of the most comprehensible means to inform allergy sufferers or medical professionals about the mean presence of allergenic pollen during the course of the year. They have been produced with a variety of methods and were distributed with great success since the beginning of pollen monitoring. Current technologies, longer data series and changing user demands allow to devel ...

Chlorophyta; Cyanobacteria; air; algae; diurnal variation; islands; microscopy; trade winds; Hawaii; Pacific Ocean
Abstract:
... Although the literature on the diversity of airborne algal communities in various locations around the world is increasing, little is known about their temporal and spatial patterns. We compared airborne algal communities from Honolulu, Hawai‘i, USA, over three 24-h sampling periods to examine diurnal patterns in diversity and abundance. Using a culture-based approach, 192 algal colonies were char ...

Abstract:
... Narrow-leafed ash (Fraxinus angustifolia) is a common polygamous tree growing on the banks of rivers in the western Mediterranean region. Pollination occurs during winter, and the tree’s pollen is among the most abundant during that season. This work aims to relate the phenology of pollen shedding, source tree distribution, meteorology and airborne pollen occurrence for the species. Aerobiological ...

Abstract:
... The paper describes phenological and aerobiological monitoring conducted during 6 years on a potato crop. The progression of the phenological stages in relation with thermal time [growing degree-days (GDD) and physiological days (P-days)] was analyzed. The growing cycle for Kennebec variety required less than 120 days and mean values of 1700 GDD and 720 P-days to complete the phenological developm ...

Abstract:
... With a view to obtaining fuller information on airborne pollen content in the city of Havana, pollen sampling was carried out using a volumetric capture method, for the first time in Cuba. The study was conducted during 2 years (2011 and 2015). An annual pollen integral of 3414 grains was registered during the first year of study, whereas 5120 grains were observed along the 2015. Monthly maximum c ...

Abstract:
... The studying of spatial and temporal distribution of pollen is essential, but rarely tackled in the region including Kuwait. Pollen grains and aeolian dust in the state of Kuwait were seasonally monitored from August 2009 to August 2011 to identify and correlate spatially and temporally pollen data with human health asthma and allergy data. The year 2010–2011 yielded a high in deposited dust and p ...

Abstract:
... Prediction of allergic pollen concentration is one of the most important goals of aerobiology. Past studies have used a broad range of modeling techniques; however, the results cannot be directly compared owing to the use of different datasets, validation methods, and evaluation metrics. The main aim of this study was to compare nine statistical modeling techniques using the same dataset. An addit ...

Abstract:
... Orbicules are sub- or pauci-micronic sporopollenin-coated particles associated with pollen grains. Recent studies have highlighted their importance in terms of systematic value or as vectors of allergens that may trigger pollinosis. While orbicules have indeed been reported for most families and genera of allergological importance, their usefulness in systematics remains little explored. Our study ...
