A progressive global increase in the burden of allergic diseases has affected industrialized world over last half century and been reported literature. The clinical evidence reveals a general both incidence prevalence respiratory diseases, such as rhinitis (common hay fever) asthma. Such phenomena may be related not only to air pollution changes lifestyle, but also an actual airborne quantities allergenic pollen. Experimental enhancements carbon dioxide (CO) have demonstrated pollen amount...
Significance Coexposure to airborne pollen enhances susceptibility respiratory viral infections, regardless of the allergy status. We hypothesized this could be also true for SARS-CoV-2 infections. To investigate this, we tested relationships between infection rates and concentrations, along with humidity, temperature, population density, lockdown effects. Our unique dataset derives from 130 sites in 31 countries across five continents. found that pollen, sometimes synergy humidity...
To benefit allergy patients and the medical practitioners, pollen information should be available in both a reliable timely manner; latter is only recently possible due to automatic monitoring. evaluate performance of all currently instruments, an international intercomparison campaign was jointly organised by EUMETNET AutoPollen Programme ADOPT COST Action Munich, Germany (March–July 2021). The systems (hardware plus identification algorithms) were compared with manual Hirst-type traps....
An evaluation of performance the System for Integrated modeLling Atmospheric coMposition (SILAM) in application to birch pollen dispersion is presented. The system described a companion paper whereas current study evaluates model sensitivity details emission module parameterisation and meteorological input data. most important parameters are highlighted. reference year considered analysis 2006. It shown that capable predicting about two-thirds allergenic alerts, with odds ratio exceeding 12...
Abstract Pollen is routinely monitored, but it unknown whether pollen counts represent allergen exposure. We therefore simultaneously determined olive and O le e 1 in ambient air C órdoba, S pain, É vora, P ortugal, using Hirst‐type traps for high‐volume cascade impactors allergen. from different days released 12‐fold amounts of Ole per (both locations < 0.001). Average release (pollen potency) was much higher Córdoba (3.9 pg 1/pollen) than Évora (0.8 1/pollen, = 0.004). Indeed, yearly...
Abstract Masting, the highly variable production of synchronized large seed crops, is a common reproductive strategy in plant populations. In wind‐pollinated trees, flowering and pollination dynamics are hypothesized to provide mechanistic link for well‐known relationship between weather population‐level production. Several hypotheses make predictions about effect on annual success. The pollen coupling hypothesis predicts that resources drive effort which directly translates into size crops...
Previous studies have shown that ragweed pollen arrives in Poland from sources the south, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary and Austria. It is likely also southeast (e.g. Ukraine). This hypothesis was investigated using 13 years of data back-trajectory analysis. Ambrosia were collected at three sites Poland, Rzeszów, Kraków Poznań. The amount recorded Rzeszów significantly higher than Poznań Kraków. can be related to either a abundance local populations south-east or proximity foreign...
The invasive alien species Ambrosia artemisiifolia (common or short ragweed) is increasing its range in Europe. In the UK and Netherlands, airborne concentrations of pollen are usually low. However, more than 30 grains per cubic metre air (above level capable to trigger allergic symptoms) were recorded Leicester (UK) Leiden (NL) on 4 5 September 2014. aims this study determine whether highly allergenic during episode could be result long distance transport, identify potential sources these...
Large-scale synoptic conditions are able to transport considerable amounts of airborne particles over entire continents by creating substantial air mass movement. This phenomenon is observed in Europe relation highly allergenic ragweed (Ambrosia L.) pollen grains that transported from populations Central (mainly the Pannonian Plain and Balkans) North. The path taken atmospheric often passes through industrialised mining region Silesia Southern Poland, considered be one most polluted areas...
A significant increase in summer temperatures has been observed for the period 1996-2011 Poznań, Poland. The phenological response of four weed taxa, widely represented by anemophilous species (Artemisia spp., Rumex spp. and Poaceae Urticaceae species) to this recent climate warming analysed Poznań examining variations course airborne pollen seasons. Pollen data were collected 7-day Hirst-type volumetric trap. Trends seasons determined using Mann-Kendall test Sen's slope estimator, whereas...
Allergenic ragweed (Ambrosia spp.) pollen grains, after being released from anthers, can be dispersed by air masses far their source. However, the action of temperature, humidity and solar radiation on grains in atmosphere could impact ability long distance transported (LDT) to maintain allergenic potency. Here, we report that major allergen Ambrosia artemisiifolia (Amb a 1) collected ambient during episodes LDT still have immunoreactive properties. The amount Amb 1 found was not constant...
Alternaria spores are pathogenic to agricultural crops, and the longest most severe sporulation seasons predominantly recorded in rural areas, e.g. Pannonian Plain (PP) South-Central Europe. In Poland (Central Europe), airborne spore concentrations peak between July August. this study, we test hypothesis that PP is source of after main season (September-October). Airborne (2005-2019) were collected using volumetric Hirst traps located 38 locations along potential pathways air masses, i.e....
This is the first time that atmospheric concentrations of individual pollen types have been recorded by an automatic sampler with 1-hour and sub-hourly resolution (i.e. 1-minute 1-second data). The data were collected traditional Hirst type methods state-of art Rapid-E real-time bioaerosol detector. Airborne from 7 taxa, i.e. Acer negundo, Ambrosia, Broussonetia papyrifera, Cupressales (Taxaceae Cupressaceae families), Platanus, Salix Ulmus, during 2019 season in Novi Sad, Serbia. Pollen...
Ongoing and future climate change driven expansion of aeroallergen-producing plant species comprise a major human health problem across Europe elsewhere. There is an urgent need to produce accurate, temporally dynamic maps at the continental level, especially in context uncertainty. This study aimed restore missing daily ragweed pollen data sets for Europe, phenological pollen, resulting most complete detailed high-resolution concentration date. To achieve this, we have developed two...
Abstract Birch (Betula) pollen seasons were examined in relation to meteorological conditions Poznań (1996–2010). grains collected using a volumetric spore trap. An alternate biennial cycle of birch season intensity was noticed Poznań. The main factors influencing average daily minimum temperatures during the second fortnight May and month June one year before pollination as well previous year. Most are recorded first week season; number at this time is positively correlated with mean...
Considerable amounts of starch granules can be present in the atmosphere from both natural and anthropogenic sources. The aim this study is to investigate variability potential origin ambient air recorded at six cities situated a region with dominantly agricultural land use. This achieved by using combination laser spectroscopy bioaerosol measurements 1 min temporal resolution, traditional volumetric Hirst type sampling atmospheric modelling. analysis wind roses identified sources airborne...
