Outdoor field measurements of bioaerosols are performed within a wide range basic and applied scientific disciplines, each with its own goals, assumptions, terminology. This article contains brief reviews outdoor bioaerosol research from these diverse interests, emphasis on perspectives the atmospheric sciences. The focus is high-level discussion pressing questions, grand challenges, needs for cross-disciplinary collaboration. topics, in which measurement important, include (i) physics,...
Abstract Invasive alien species (IAS) can substantially affect ecosystem services and human well-being. However, quantitative assessments of their impact on health are rare the benefits implementing IAS management likely to be underestimated. Here we report effects allergenic plant Ambrosia artemisiifolia public in Europe potential accidentally introduced leaf beetle Ophraella communa number patients healthcare costs. We find that, prior establishment O. , some 13.5 million persons suffered...
Abstract Background The EC ‐funded E uro P revall project examined the prevalence of food allergy across urope. A well‐established factor in occurrence is primary sensitization to pollen. Objective To analyse geographic and temporal variations pollen exposure, allowing investigation how these influence incidence allergies Methods Airborne data for two decades (1990–2009) were obtained from 13 monitoring sites located as close possible survey centres. Start dates, intensity duration B...
The paper considers the possibilities of modelling release and dispersion pollen common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.), a highly allergenic invasive weed, which is spreading through southern central Europe. In order to provide timely warnings for allergy sufferers, model was developed forecasting concentrations in air. development based on system integrated atmospheric composition (SILAM) concentrated spatio-temporal flowering season release, constitutes emission term. Evaluation new...
Biological invasions are a major driver of global change, for which models can attribute causes, assess impacts and guide management. However, invasion typically focus on spread from known introduction points or non-native distributions ignore the transport processes by species arrive. Here, we developed simulation model to understand describe plant at continental scale, integrating repeated through trade pathways, unintentional release events population dynamics local anthropogenic...
Abstract. Pollen-induced allergies are among the most prevalent non-contagious diseases, with about a quarter of European population being sensitive to various atmospheric bioaerosols. In countries, pollen information is based on weekly-cycle Hirst-type trap method. This method labour-intensive and requires narrow specialized abilities substantial time, so that data always delayed subject sampling- counting-related uncertainties. Emerging new approaches automatic monitoring can, in...
Abstract Pollen monitoring has traditionally been carried out using manual methods first developed in the early 1950s. Although this technique recently standardised, it suffers from several drawbacks, notably data usually only being available with a delay of 3–9 days and delivered at daily resolution. Several automatic instruments have come on to market over past few years, more new devices also under development. This paper provides comprehensive overview all developing instruments, how...
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....
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 European Commission Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action FA1203 "SMARTER" aims to make recommendations for the sustainable management of Ambrosia across Europe monitoring its efficiency cost-effectiveness. goal present study is provide a baseline spatial temporal variations airborne pollen that can be used evaluation this noxious plant. covers full range artemisiifolia L. distribution over (39°N-60°N; 2°W-45°E). Airborne data principal flowering period (August-September)...
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...
Information on compositional, nutritional and functional properties of bee-pollen, as a health-promoting food, is essential for defining its quality. Concerning the importance phenolic compounds, aim this study was to determine profile antioxidant activity twenty-four bee-pollen samples collected from different regions Serbia. High-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) fingerprinting used profiling according botanical type. HPTLC hyphenated with image analysis pattern recognition...
The aim of this paper is to describe a solution suitable for the automation standard pollen information service (EN 16868:2019). We are describing RealForAll integrated system developed automatic airborne detection and real-time data delivery end-users. This based on measurements from Rapid-E particle monitor. incorporates an AI-enabled subsystem convolutional neural network that continuously retrieves raw performs classification pollen. main advantages reflect in independence aerobiology...
A focus of research in recent years is the comparison honey as final product bees with pollen and nectar plant from which originates, main food source for bees. Buckwheat recognized a nutritionally valuable product, provides scientifically proven health benefit confirmed functional food. The quality this type attributed to high levels phytochemicals buckwheat. purpose study was examination similarity between buckwheat pollen, well simultaneous investigation their chemical profiles origin...
Abstract. This study presents the first reference calibrations of three commercially available bioaerosol detectors. The Droplet Measurement Technologies WIBS-NEO (new version wideband integrated spectrometer), Plair Rapid-E, and Swisens Poleno were compared with a primary standard for particle number concentrations at Federal Institute Metrology (METAS). Polystyrene (PSL) spheres used to assess absolute counts diameters from 0.5 10 µm. For devices, counting efficiency was found be strongly...
