Automatic detection of airborne pollen: an overview
traditionally been carried out using manual methods first developed in the early 1950s. Although this technique has been recently standardised, it suffers from several draw-backs, notably data usually only being ...
Impact of environmental nitrogen pollution on pollen allergy: A scoping review
rise in the prevalence of allergies to aeroallergens is incompletely understood and attributed to interactions with environmental changes and lifestyle changes. Environmental nitrogen pollution might be ...

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
science Forest mapping respiratory health Species distribution modelling Urban vegetation Abstract: Mapping the distribution of allergenic plants in urbanized landscapes is of high importance to evaluate ...
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 ...
Exposure to green space and pollen allergy symptom severity: A case-crossover study in Belgium
pollen allergy patients are complex and best studied in spatio-temporal detail. Methods: We tracked 144 adults sensitized to Betulaceae pollen during the tree pollen season (January-May) of 2017 and 2018 ...
Association between local airborne tree pollen composition and surrounding land cover across different spatial scales in Northern Belgium
composition patterns. The overall objective of this study is to determine local variations in tree pollen composition with passive samplers and to identify the surrounding landscape characteristics that drive them. In ...
