Many plants react to pollutants in the atmosphere andcan consequentely be used to examine air quality.A distinction is made between bioindicator,bioaccumulator and hiperaccumulator and biomonitorplants. Given the encouraging results of a study to monitorstress caused by pollution in the city of Palermo(Sicily), we decided to carry out a survey ofpollutants, by examining some “passive bioindicatorp...... hiện toàn bộ
Preliminary assessment of protein associated with airborne particles in Mexico CityAerobiologia - Tập 11 - Trang 81-86 - 1995

The protein associated with airborne particles was measured during 1991 as an indicator of airborne biological material in different outdoor urban environments. Fifty air samples were collected simultaneously at three sampling sites, located in the north, south and downtown Mexico City, using a PM10 high-volume sampler (particles<10 μm). The air filters were weighed and protein extracted using a p...... hiện toàn bộ
Airborne ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) pollen concentrations in Croatia, 2002–2004Aerobiologia - Tập 22 - Trang 161-168 - 2006
R. Peternel, J. Čulig, I. Hrga, P. Hercog
The aim of this study was to determine the onset, length and end of the ragweed pollen season, taking into account diurnal, day-to-day, monthly and annual pollen variations, the effect of some meteorological parameters on atmospheric pollen concentrations and possible differences in the airborne pollen season and concentration due to sampling site. Airborne pollen was collected at three sites in c...... hiện toàn bộ
Biochemical analysis of the allergenic pollen ofMadhuca indica Gmel. andSpathodea campanulata BeauvAerobiologia - Tập 9 - Trang 197-200 - 1993
Sudhendu Mandal, Badal Kumar Datta, G. N. Bhattacharyya
The present paper deals with the biochemical analysis in the form of quantitative estimation of carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, minerals, ash and moisture of the pollen of two allergenic plants, i.e.Manhuca indica andSpathodea campanulata. Carbohydrates constitute the major dry matter fractions in both the pollen types with highest amount inM. indica (25.37%). Soluble proteins were estimat...... hiện toàn bộ
Ozone effects on soluble protein content of Acer negundo, Quercus robur and Platanus spp. pollenAerobiologia - Tập 29 - Trang 443-447 - 2013
H. Ribeiro, L. Duque, R. Sousa, I. Abreu
In this study, the effect of three different ozone (O3) levels on soluble protein content of Acer negundo, Quercus robur and Platanus spp. pollen was investigated. Pollen was directly collected from each plant and exposed to O3 values below, equal and four times the limit for human health protection in an environmental chamber system. With this chamber, it was possible to control and reproduce the...... hiện toàn bộ

The Relationship Between Gorgonian Coral (Cnidaria: Gorgonacea) Diseases and African Dust StormsAerobiologia - Tập 20 - Trang 119-126 - 2004

The number of reports of coral diseases has increased throughout the world in the last 20 years. Aspergillosis, which primarily affects Gorgonia ventalina and G. flabellum, is one of the few diseases to be characterized. This disease is caused by Aspergillus sydowii, a terrestrial fungus with a worldwide distribution. Upon infection, colonies may lose tissue, and ultimately, mortality may occur if...... hiện toàn bộ
