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...
Ornamental trees can reduce some of the negative impacts urbanization on citizens but species, such as Platanus spp., produce pollen with high allergenic potential. This exacerbate symptomatology in allergic patients, being a public health problem. Therefore, it would be relevant to determine environmental conditions regulating flowering onset species. The aims this study were use aerobiological records for modelling thermal requirements and make future projections based effects that climate...
Abstract Cladosporium spores are ubiquitous in the air and included fungal contaminants that define environmental quality. This paper provides an updated review of their concentration Iberian Peninsula, based on data from 12 sampling stations collected using a common non-viable volumetric method same subsequent data-treatment techniques. The database comprised 84 annual periods, covering period 1993–2009. Mean total spore concentrations for each station, calculated as sum daily...
Abstract The atmosphere of Málaga was sampled from 1992 to 1995 for the pollen Olea europaea L., one most common airborne allergens in Mediterranean area. A Burkard seven-day-recording trap showed that this species is principally detected during spring with highest concentrations occurring May. During main pollination period, 24 hour intradiurnal variation pattern a high degree homogeneity no noteworthy peaks. correlations between recorded and different meteorological parameters show...
Intradiurnal fluctuations in the airborne pollen count of nine taxa which are most important atmosphere Málaga (SE Spain) were studied. A mathematical formula, "intradiurnal distribution index"; (IDI), permitted an accurate numerical comparison different years and Sampling was carried out during period 1992–1995 with aid a Burkard volumetric spore trap. Although on basis IDI values obtained, three types behaviour distinguished, showed maximum concentration peaks around midday.
Airborne pollen can trigger allergic rhinitis and other respiratory diseases in the synthesised population, which makes it one of most relevant biological contaminants. Therefore, implementing accurate forecast systems is a priority for public health. The current models are generally useful, but they falter when long time series data managed. emergence new computational techniques such as LSTM algorithms could constitute significant improvement risk assessment. In this study, several...
Although olive pollen is one of the most widespread aeroallergens in Mediterranean area, very few studies present predictive models. We have already seen that Málaga (Southern Spain) meteorological variables which greatest influence on airborne concentrations during pre‐peak period are accumulated rainfall and mean temperatures from chilling requirement for flowers buds initiation. This work presents simple multiple linear regressions obtained by using daily as a dependent variable values...
