Description and Table of Contents

Description

Although pollen grains in the atmosphere are relatively small in number they can cause an allergic response in susceptible humans. The allergenic content of the atmosphere varies according to season, climate, geography and vegetation. Knowledge of the pollen seasons in different countries is necessary to understand the appearance of allergic symptoms. This text contains contributions from over 70 authors, working throughout Europe, on pollen and pollen allergy.
