Automatic detection of airborne pollen: an overview
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of all available and developing automatic instruments, how they measure, how they identify airborne pollen, what impacts measurement quality, as well as what ...
Environmental degradation and the increasing burden of allergic disease: The need to determine the impact of nitrogen pollution
Environmental Pollution epidemiology Nitrogen deposition Pollen allergy respiratory health Abstract: Allergic diseases are a major public health problem and their burden is expected to keep increasing as a result ...
Towards standardisation of automatic pollen and fungal spore monitoring: best practises and guidelines
to site selection criteria. Despite no official standard yet existing, it is essential that all aspects of the measurement chain are carried out in a manner that is as standardised as possible to ...
Mapping abundance distributions of allergenic tree species in urbanized landscapes: A nation-wide study for Belgium using forest inventory and citizen science data
its impact on human health. However, data is not always available for the allergy-relevant species such as alder, birch, hazel, especially within cities where systematic inventories are often missing or ...
Spatio-Temporal Modeling of Grass and Birch Pollen in Belgium
Grass health pollen Pollinosis SILAM Abstract: The contribution of biogenic aerosols such as pollen to air pollution effects on the human wellbeing is substantial. Recently there is a global increase in ...
Association between local airborne tree pollen composition and surrounding land cover across different spatial scales in Northern Belgium
passive samplers detected the same pollen taxa during the same time windows as the validated volumetric Burkard samplers. Using passive samplers, we were able to measure local airborne pollen ...
Spatio-Temporal Monitoring and Modelling of Birch Pollen in Belgium
(Landrigan et al. in The Lancet Commission on pollution and health, 2017) [3]. Biogenic emissions of aerosols such as pollen also impact the human wellbeing. The industrialized world suffers from a global ...
