Contribution of fungi to primary biogenic aerosols in the atmosphere: wet and dry discharged spores, carbohydrates, and inorganic ions

TL;DR: In this paper, the first estimates for the global average emission rates of fungal spores were presented, showing that fungi which actively discharge their spores with liquids into the air are a major source of primary biogenic aerosol particles and components.
Journal ArticleDOI

Major grass pollen allergen Lol p 1 binds to diesel exhaust particles: implications for asthma and air pollution.

TL;DR: This data indicates that the presence of grass pollen allergens in the atmosphere is associated with epidemics of thunderstorm asthma during the grass pollen season and the question arises whether these particles can interact with other sources of fine particles, particularly those present during episodes of air pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Release of allergens as respirable aerosols: A link between grass pollen and asthma

TL;DR: First direct observations of the release of grass pollen allergens as respirable aerosols can emanate directly from the flower after a moisture-drying cycle are provided, which could explain asthmatic responses associated with grass pollination, particularly after moist weather conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organic compounds present in the natural Amazonian aerosol: Characterization by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a high-volume sampler to separate the aerosol into fine (aerodynamic diameter, AD 2.5 μm) size fractions and quantified a range of organic compounds in methanolic extracts of the samples by a gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric technique.
Journal ArticleDOI

Birch pollen rupture and the release of aerosols of respirable allergens

TL;DR: Backgound Birch pollen allergens have been implicated as asthma triggers; however, pollen grains are too large to reach the lower airways where asthmatic reactions occur.
