This project investigates some possibilities for developing cost-effective “first alert” technology capable of detecting airborne bacteria, fungi and pollen in real time. The proposed approach shows significant promise as an initial alert system capable of alerting users to the possible presence of pathogens or allergens in the air, allowing for the timely implementation of personal protective measures. Although the device cannot differentiate between specific types of bacteria, fungi or pollen, it effectively collects and retains them in a liquid sample. This allows for their precise characterization to be conducted in the nearest laboratory.

Elevated concentrations of fungal spores cause a significant reduction in the quality of life of susceptible individuals, and an increase in workloads at hospitals.

The analysis of atmospheric fungal spores through aerobiological studies and the determination of their relationship with meteorological factors can support reduced exposure to allergens and favor early precautions against agricultural pests. In this study, fungal spores in the atmosphere in Kastamonu, Türkiye were studied hourly throughout 2017 using the volumetric method.

In order to ascertain the stable status of the recently built fractional-order system, a qualitative and quantitative analysis is also conducted. Reliable results are ensured by examining the boundedness and uniqueness of the model, which are crucial attributes for comprehending the intricate dynamics. The global derivative is used to determine the rate of disease effects according to each sub-compartment and is validated for genuine positivity using linear growth and Lipschitz conditions. The global stability of the system is investigated using Lyapunov’s first derivative functions in order to evaluate the overall effect of the disease’s spread and control. The impacts of different parameters on the sickness are illustrated using numerical simulations, which are used to explore the effect of the fractional operator on the generalized form of the Mittag–Leffler kernel utilizing a two-step Lagrange polynomial approach for continuous monitoring.

We analyzed 36 major taxa, focusing on long-term trends.

The studies ranged in duration from 10 to 31 years. The results indicate a general increase in annual temperatures across Spain. However, a decline in minimum, mean, and maximum temperatures was observed in Tétouan (Morocco), Jaén and Ourense (Spain) before months when species were expected to flower. Based on data extracted from peer-reviewed articles, pollen season intensity has generally decreased across Mediterranean countries, mainly due to deforestation, habitat fragmentation, land use changes, and intense human activity, all of which have diminished biodiversity in these areas, except in Spain. More than 25% of the data reviewed showed a delayed start to the pollen season, except in Turkey, where no data was found regarding the pollen season's start. Over 98% of studies conducted in Morocco and Spain indicated a delayed end to the pollen season. However, both delays and advances were observed in Greece and Turkey. These phenological changes are primarily linked to shifts in temperature, and could be connected to climate change and rising CO<sup>2</sup> levels. Based on our research, the timing of pollination, whether earlier or later than expected, differs from the results of other studies and is strongly influenced by the particular years examined.

The environment is also indicated as a significant vector for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) dissemination. Unfortunately, the air is the least monitored environment or reported for AMR. This study reviews the prevalence of bacterial pathogens and resistomes in African air samples, comparing them with global reports. Using PubMed and Google Scholar, publications from 2013 to 2023 on biomonitored air samples were reviewed; the regional occurrence of bacteria, their antibiotic resistance profiles, and the knowledge gaps in this area across the African continent and between other continents are highlighted. West African region had the highest research output and publications, predominantly from Nigeria (46.6%). Most of the African studies focused on indoor air environments, especially in hospitals, employing passive air sampling. <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> was the most frequently reported bacteria, with tetracycline resistance being the most common.
