Résumé:

Background: The prevalence of allergy to aeroallergens is rising and attributed to lifestyle- and environmental changes such as nitrogen pollution, although causality is often difficult to infer. Despite its known ecological impact, the impact on pollen allergenicity of environmental nitrogen pollution  remains poorly circumscribed. We hypothesize that soil nitrogen pollution may directly   affect pollen production and/or properties, resulting in pollen collected from different environmental nitrogen deposition conditions exhibiting different allergenicity in sensitized pa…
