title: Pollen.
abstract: This review deals first with basic knowledge about pollen, especially its biology, morphology and physiology, and then discusses the connection of pollen with medical problems such as hay fever (pollinosis). The next sections cover the historical development of methods for trapping and counting airborne pollen grains to produce reliable quantitative data, and the development of a European network of pollen-reporting stations.
