    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Science
    • Immunology
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Limited epidemiologic data exists on the prevalence and impact of allergies.
    • Accurate quantification of airborne allergens is essential for public health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a practical method for quantifying airborne amorphous and morphologically defined antigens.
    • To report preliminary findings on common household and community-wide allergens.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a high-volume air sampler to collect airborne particles.
    • Separated collected samples by particle size.
    • Assessed allergenic activity using radioallergosorbent test inhibition assay.

    Main Results:
