- Lecturers by leading european experts in aerobiology will cover its main topics namely:
- Aerodynamics and dispersal of airborne particles
- Sampling technologies of bioaerosols and aeroallergens
- Pollen biology, structure, function, morphology
- Fungal spores: production and release
- Microscopic techniques in aerobiology
- Statistical techniques applied to aerobiology
- Plant taxonomy and identification
- The European Pollen Information system (databases and software) and the European Allergen Network
- Quality control in Aerobiological Analysis
There will be an emphasis on practical sessions covering aspects like operation of volumetric traps and sampling processing, pollen and fungal spore identification by optical microscopy or laboratory management of protocols.
