City spore concentrations in the European Economic Community (EEC) I. Grass pollen, 1973.

Abstract

Although clinical reports on the prevalence of [human] summer hay fever in different parts of Europe were published, comparative studies on atmospheric pollen concentrations are rarely undertaken. This paper describes grass pollen content of the air at Bologna [Italy], Brussels [Belgium], London [England], Munich [Germany] and Strasbourg [Germany] and is the 1st of a series involving international collaboration between workers in cities of the EEC.
