title: [Atmospheric allergens].
abstract: Aeromicrobiology techniques allow to determine nature and quantitative distribution of atmospheric particles which are capable of inducing an allergic reaction. Airborne pollens and seasonal mold spores are the main known aeroallergens. Their allergenicity has been clinically and biologically demonstrated and is indeed responsible for pathological manifestations in man especially within the respiratory tract.
