TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the drivers that normally attract visitors to UGS, and assess the effects of social isolation on the usage and perception of UGS during the COVID-19 pandemic.

TL;DR: Aerobiology is an interdisciplinary science where researchers with different backgrounds are involved in different topics related to microorganism, airborne biological particles, e.g. pollen and spores, and phenology, but concepts, words or expressions used in aerobiology are however frequently misused.
Abstract: Aerobiology is an interdisciplinary science where researchers with different backgrounds are involved in different topics related to microorganism, airborne biological particles, e.g. pollen and spores, and phenology. Some concepts, words or expressions used in aerobiology have a clear definition, but are however frequently misused. Therefore, the working group “Quality Control” of the European Aerobiology Society (EAS) and the International Association of Aerobiology (IAA) would like to clarify some of them, their use and presentation.

TL;DR: Across Europe, the same amount of pollen released substantially different amounts of group 5 grass pollen allergen, in addition to variations in pollen counts, which might be a valuable addition to pollen counting.
Abstract: Allergies to grass pollen are the number one cause of outdoor hay fever. The human immune system reacts with symptoms to allergens from pollen.
Objective: We investigated the natural variability in release of the major group 5 allergen from grass
pollen across Europe.
Methods: Airborne pollen and allergens were simultaneously collected daily with a volumetric spore
trap and a high-volume cascade impactor at 10 sites across Europe for 3 consecutive years. Group 5 allergen was determined with a Phl p 5 specific ELISA in two fractions of ambient air: Particulate Matter (PM) >10μm and 10μm>PM>2.5μm. Mediator release by ambient air was determined in FceR1-humanized basophils. Origin of pollen was modeled and condensed to pollen potency maps.
Results: On average grass pollen released 2.3 pg Phl p 5/pollen. Allergen release per pollen (potency) varied substantially, ranging from 0 to 9 pg Phl p 5/pollen (5 to 95% percentile). The main variation was locally day-to-day. Average potency maps across Europe varied between years. Mediator release from basophilic granulocytes correlated better with allergen/m3 (r2=0.80, p<0.001) than with
pollen/m3 (r2=0.61, p<0.001). In addition, pollen released different amounts of allergen in the nonpollen
bearing fraction of ambient air depending on humidity.
Conclusion: Across Europe, the same amount of pollen released substantially different amounts of group 5 grass pollen allergen. This variation in allergen release is on top of variations in pollen counts. Molecular aerobiology, i.e. determining allergen in ambient air, may be a valuable addition to pollen counting.

TL;DR: Monitoring atmospheric concentrations ofBirch pollen grain and the matched major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 simultaneously across Europe within the EU-funded project HIALINE (Health Impacts of Airborne Allergen Information Network) found a humanized basophil activation test correlated much better with allerGEN concentrations in ambient air than with pollen count.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined not only direct (scale) impact of previously analysed factors, such as GDP, trade, foreign direct investment (FDI), urbanization, industrialization, renewable energy consumption, and energy efficiency on GHG emissions, but also model composition and technique effects of this impact.
