Vegetation information within 20 km and 50 km buffers around our sampling site and continuous meteorological data were analyzed.

The counts of arboreal pollen grains are positively correlated with pre-flowering temperature. In contrast, the herbaceous ones are negatively associated with temperature the weeks before flowering.

Due to their extensive source locations and species, as well as longer flowering seasons, <i>Pinus</i> and Poaceae pollen have wider ranges of meteorological conditions during the pollen deposition.

Its spores through the allergen Alt a 1 are significant contributors to respiratory issues. This study investigates the concentration of <i>Alternaria</i> spores and the allergen Alt a 1 in Zonguldak, Türkiye, from 2015 to 2017. Spore and allergen Alt a 1 samples were collected using a Burkard spore trap and a BGI900 High-volume Air Sampler, respectively, during the main spore season from June to September. The highest spore concentrations were recorded in 2015 and 2016, significantly higher than in 2017. Monthly variations showed peak spore concentrations in August for 2015, July for 2016 and 2017. The highest Alt a 1 allergen concentration was observed in 2017, despite lower spore counts. The substantial increase in rainfall during August 2016 and 2017, compared to 2015, likely contributed to the reduced spore concentrations observed in those years. Alt a 1 allergen concentrations exhibited peak levels in August for 2015, July for 2016, and 2017. The study identified significant day-to-day and year-to-year variability in spore allergenicity, with 2017 exhibiting the highest allergen per spore ratio. Correlation analysis between meteorological parameters and spore/allergen concentrations revealed that air temperature positively influenced spore and allergen levels in 2015 and 2016, while relative humidity and air pressure had variable effects. Wind direction also played a crucial role, with higher allergen concentrations associated with southern winds. The study highlights the complex relationship between environmental factors and airborne spore/allergen levels, emphasizing the significant impact of meteorological conditions over agricultural practices. These findings contribute to understanding the variability in fungal spore concentrations and their allergenicity, offering insights for better management of allergenic diseases in regions with similar climatic and geographical conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7718,"journal":{"name":"Aerobiologia","volume":"41 2","pages":"147 - 158"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145167930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a systematic palynological investigation of 21 halophytic species from Peshawar (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan) was conducted using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The main goal was to explore the taxonomic significance of pollen morphology to assist in identifying these halophytic taxa.

Pollen types observed included tricolporate, pantaporate, polypantoporate, tetrad, polyads, monoporate, and trizonocolporate. Additionally, significant variation in exine sculpturing was noted across species, ranging from reticulate, microechinate, scabrate, to microechinate-areolate types. The study reflects the importance of examining salt-tolerant palynoanatomical traits using advanced systematic tools at a regional level to improve the identification and classification of halophytes. The exploration of salt-tolerant palynomorphological traits using advanced systematic tools is crucial at the provincial level and can also provide valuable insights into the aerobiology of halophytic species, particularly regarding pollen dispersal and allergenic potential.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7718,"journal":{"name":"Aerobiologia","volume":"41 2","pages":"127 - 146"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145166697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Concurrently, the total and regional deposition doses of proteins in different age groups (infants, children, adolescents and adults) were estimated using a multi-path particle dosimetry (MPPD, v.3.04) model.
