Pollen allergy risk is modified by air pollutants, including ozone, but the chemical
modifications induced on pollen grains are poorly understood. Pollen lipidic extract has …

Cumulative data indicate that pollen grains and air pollution reciprocally interact. Climate
changes seem also to influence pollen allergenicity. Depending on the plant species and on …

Bioaerosols are a subset of important airborne particulates that present a substantial human
health hazard due to their allergenicity and infectivity. Chemical reactions in atmospheric …

There has been an insurgence of allergic respiratory diseases such as asthma and rhinitis in
industrialized countries in the last few decades as a result of the interaction between air …

Sporopollenin exine capsules (SECs), extracted from plant pollen grains, are becoming
