TLDR
This article found that the incidence of allergies among people in arid Tucson, Arizona, is six to nine times higher than that in the U.S. population as a whole, due to the inadvertant introduction of atmospheric pollen from urban and suburban landscaping.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of regional atmospheric pollen with pollen collected at and near homes
TL;DR: Pollen concentrations from rotorod and Burkard traps show that pollen is rare inside homes and only occurs when pollen production is high, and no differences in pollen concentration were found between rooms of any home, and frontyards generally had higher pollen concentrations than backyards.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships between flowering development of Ulmus pumila and Fraxinus excelsior and their airborne pollen
TL;DR: The phenological sampling method showed that floral phenophase development is not always synchronous between trees, and was larger for F. excelsior than for U. pumila.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical relevance of spore and pollen counts
Jay M. Portnoy,Charles S. Barnes +1 more
TL;DR: To take advantage of bioparticulate counts, the public needs to be informed about their meaning and factors that can influence personal exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interpretation of floodplain pollen in alluvial sediments from an Arid Region
TL;DR: Pollen was collected from modern alluvium and from the atmosphere to document the nature and amount of paleoenvironmental information reflected by alluvial pollen chronologies as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pollen deposition and vegetation in the southern Rocky Mountains and southwest Plains, USA
TL;DR: A 2-year study of pollen influx in 37 Tauber traps along a 320-km transect extending from 1-224 to 3642 m elevation indicates that pollen dispersal occurs both upslope and down-slope in the southern Rocky Mountains as discussed by the authors.

Tucson epidemiologic study of obstructive lung diseases i: methodology and prevalence of disease
TL;DR: Despite much higher rates of diagnosed pulmonary diseases within the age-sex populations over the age of 40, the results of this study are within the ranges of other surveys in terms of prevalence of many common chronic respiratory symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
The volumetric incidence of atmospheric allergens; a proposed standard method of gravity sampling, counting, and volumetric interpolation of results.
TL;DR: The basic index of atmospheric contamination in a given community should depend on aerobiologic data secured from air samples taken on the unobstructed top of a tall downtown building.

Human Disturbance and the Historical Development of Linsley Pond
TL;DR: Paleolimnological techniques were used at Linsley Pond, North Branford, Connecticut, USA to compare changes in the biota with changes in watershed land use as documented by municipal land records as discussed by the authors.
