Aeropalynology

Aeropalynology is a branch of palynology that is the study of pollen, spores and other bioparticles in the Earth's atmosphere.^[1] This study includes how theses particles spread, deposit and effect human systems.

Overview

Allergic diseases are among the most common chronic disorders across the entire world with more than 300 million people suffering from allergies. The most common cause of allergies include pollen, fungal spores, dust mites, insect debris, epithelia cells from animals and etc.^[2]

During certain times of the year, flowering plants will bloom more often and load the atmosphere with pollen periodically. But the time of year differ from place to place and differs depending on the geography.

Importance

This field is important for the study of allergies and the spread of disease among people, animals and agriculture.^[1]
