BACKGROUND Grasses (Poaceae) are one of the largest plant families and are distributed worldwide. Grass pollen allergy is one of the most important pollen allergies affecting large parts of the population worldwide. The grass pollen season itself is special since it is caused by the flowering of

BACKGROUND Grasses release the most widespread aeroallergens with considerable sensitization rates, while different species produce several pollen concentration peaks throughout the season. This study analyzed the prevalence of grass species in three different European city areas and compared the

Grass pollen is the main cause of pollen allergy in Europe, and-given its marked allergenic potential and elevated airborne concentrations-constitutes a major public health risk. This study sought to identify the grass species triggering allergies during the highest-risk periods, and to measure the
