Article Synopsis
- Limited evidence indicates that interactions between chemical pollutants and biological particles may worsen respiratory diseases linked to urban air pollution, but data on biological elements is lacking.
- This research represents the first attempt to analyze air pollution by combining both living (e.g., bacteria and fungi) and non-living components, focusing on data from the Madrid Greater Region.
- Significant correlations were found between temperature, humidity, and the presence of certain biological phyla, and preliminary models suggest these environmental factors can help predict biological diversity even when direct measurements are lacking.
Air pollution in large cities produces numerous diseases and even millions of deaths annually according to the World Health Organization. Pollen exposure is related to allergic diseases, which makes its prediction a valuable tool to assess the risk level to aeroallergens. However, airborne pollen concentrations are difficult to predict due to the inherent complexity of the relationships among both biotic and environmental variables.
