Article Synopsis
  • The Cupressaceae plant family, particularly Cupressus arizonica, produces allergenic pollen (Cup a 3) that contributes significantly to winter respiratory allergies, especially in polluted regions like North America and Mediterranean areas.
  • This study utilized advanced microscopy techniques to analyze how air pollution affects the expression of Cup a 3 in cypress pollen from various pollution levels across Spain.
  • Results indicated that Cup a 3 was more abundant in pollen from polluted areas, suggesting that these plants react to air pollution by increasing allergen production, which may heighten allergy risks for individuals.

Background: In patients with pollinosis, allergic symptoms are often correlated with the number of airborne pollen grains, although this correlation is not always close. The direct measurement of the concentration of aeroallergens has only recently been introduced and is an important advance in public health information systems.

Objective: To compare specific quantification of aeroallergens Ole e 1 and Par j 1-Par j 2 Olea and Urticaceae pollen counts.
