Pollen forecasting research a boost for asthma and hay fever sufferers
New research has revealed a potential link between pollen from certain grass species and respiratory health issues such as asthma and hay fever.
The research, which brings together healthcare data and ground-breaking ecological techniques, could set a roadmap for refining pollen forecasts and assist the 400 million people worldwide with allergic rhinitis and more than 300 million asthmatics.
University of Queensland researcher Associate Professor Nicholas Osborne said current pollen forecasts relied on measuring the total load of grass pollen in the atmosphere but did not distinguish between pollen from different types of grass.
