    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Science
    • Allergy and Immunology
    • Analytical Chemistry

    Context:

    • Hay-fever (allergic rhinitis) is a common condition exacerbated by airborne allergens.
    • Accurate assessment of personal exposure to specific allergens is crucial for effective management.
    • Existing methods may not fully capture individual, real-world allergen exposure.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a novel device for quantifying personal exposure to pollen and fungal spores.
    • To enable qualitative and quantitative determination of airborne allergens.
    • To provide a tool for better understanding individual allergen exposure in hay-fever patients.

    Summary:

    • A device collects airborne pollen and fungal spores on an adhesive surface.
    • Collected samples are mounted using Gelvatol for microscopic analysis.
