Treatment of allergic rhinitis during and outside the pollen season using mobil...
Bédard, A.; Basagaña, X.; Anto, J. M.; Garcia-Aymerich, J.; Devillier, P.; Arnavielhe, S.; Bedbrook, A.; Onorato, G. L.; Czarlewski, W.; Murray, R.Background: The analysis of mobile health (mHealth) data has generated innovative insights into improving allergic rhinitis control, but additive information is needed. A cross-sectional real-world observational study was undertaken in 17 European countries during and outside the estimated pollen season. The aim was to collect novel information including the phenotypic characteristics of the users. Methods: The...

R. Albertini; Ugolotti M.; Buters J.; Weber, B.; Thibaudon, M.; Smith, M.; Galán C.; U. Berger; Brandao, R. M.; Antunes, C.M.; Grewling L.Introduction. Exposure to allergens is pivotal in determining sensitization and allergic symptoms in individuals. Pollen grain counts in ambient air have traditionally been assessed to estimate airborne allergen exposure. However, the exact allergen content in ambient air is unknown. HIALINE therefore monitored atmospheric concentrations of Betula, Poaceae and Olea pollen grains and matched their major allergen...
Airborne olive pollen counts are not representative of exposure to the major ol...
Galán C.; Antunes, C.M.; Brandao, R. M.; Torres, C.; Garcia-Mozo, H.; Caeiro, E.; R. Ferro; Prank, M.; Sofiev, M.; R. Albertini; U. Berger; L. CecchiPollen is routinely monitored, but it is unknown whether pollen counts represent allergen exposure. We therefore simultaneously determined olive pollen and Ole e 1 in ambient air in C ordoba, Spain, and Evora, Portugal, using Hirst-type traps for pollen and high-volume cascade impactors for allergen. Pollen from different days released 12-fold different amounts of Ole e 1 per pollen (both locations P < 0.001). ...

A review of operational, regional-scale, chemical weather forecasting models in...
Kukkonen, J.; Olsson, T.; Schultz, D. M.; Baklanov, A.; Klein, T.; Miranda, A. I.; Monteiro, A.; Hirtl, M.; Tarvainen, V.; Boy, M.; Peuch, V.-H.Numerical models that combine weather forecasting and atmospheric chemistry are here referred to as chemical weather forecasting models. Eighteen operational chemical weather forecasting models on regional and continental scales in Europe are described and compared in this article. Topics discussed in this article include how weather forecasting and atmospheric chemistry models are integrated into chemical weat...
