“…Previous studies have reported pollen concentrations up to 10 3 m -3 in the atmosphere over vegetated regions (Fröhlich-Nowoisky et al, 2009;Sofiev et al, 2006). Aeropalynology is a branch of aerobiology that deals with the study of pollen grains and plant spores in both indoor and outdoor environments (Ukhanova and Bogomolova, 2015). Most studies have focused on pollen biodiversity and human exposure, mainly related to allergies and health problems (Bogawski et al, 2016;Korpelainen and Pietiläinen, 2017;Brennan et al, 2018;Brennan et al, 2019;Banchi et al, 2020).…”

Bioaerosols are aerosols with biological traces. Recently, based on analytical methods for obtaining biological information, it has been shown that bioaerosols play an important role in the climate change as well as the reproduction and spread of organisms across various ecosystems, they also have biological effects in organisms, including humans. In particular, the nature of bioaerosols has been determined by next-generation sequencing and scanning electron microscopy. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the sources of bioaerosols, the sampling methods and the technologies used for their investigation. Furthermore, this review discusses the preexisting knowledge about the major categories of biological aerosol particles. This review will provide information on bioaerosols for the beneficial application of this information in future works.

“…Airborne allergens are biologically derived compounds. It is the proteins and glycoproteins tht make up the airborne allergen that directly produce an allergic reaction [50] . Poaceae plants (grass pollen family) are the ones that cause the greatest allergies, according to the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) allergen database [51] .…”

The current study aims to identify the allergenic pollen proteins of some plant species of Fabaceae and Poaceae families by SDS-PAGE technique to know which of them can cause allergy. Six different plants belonging to Fabaceae family (Bauhinia variegate, Cassia javanica, Delonix regia, Peltophorumafricanum, Senna didymobotrya and Senna surattensis) and four different plants belonging to Poaceae family (Avena sativa, Setaria viridis, Sorghum bicolor and Zea mays) were collected from two different zones. The 1 st site is located at Cairo Governorate and the 2 nd is Kafr Elsheikh Governorate. Sampling was carried out at both two mentioned fixed sites for three consecutive periods from July 2018 to June 2021.The obtained results showedthat the prolate-spheroidal was the most common pollen shape, trizonocolpoate and monoporate shapes were the most prevalent aperture and the regulate-perforate and granulate types were the most noticed sculpture. SDS showed notable bands, ranged from 25, to 75 kDa which were related to hydrophilic proteins antigen in pollens. Interestingly, SDS-Page of the serum of the patient revealed similar bands within 74, 51 and 40 kDa. Therefore, our study highlighted the possible role of pollen grains related to Fabaceae and Poaceae families in allergic patient in Egypt.
