2 Health Impacts of Airborne ALergen Information NEtwork JA GPSD [705038] START DATE: 03/02/2009 END DATE: 03/05/2012 DURATION: 39 month(s) CURRENT STATUS: Finalised PROGRAMME TITLE: Second Programme of Community action in the Field of Health PROGRAMME PRIORITY: - CALL: Improve Citizen'S Health Security (Hs-2008) TOPIC: Protect citizens against health threats EC CONTRIBUTION: EUR KEYWORDS: Allergies, Asthma, Biological agents PORTFOLIO: Climate change, Healthy environments Page 2/9

3 SUMMARY General objectives To evaluate the effects of climate diversity and change on airborne allergen exposure, and to implement an outdoor allergen early warning network. Climatic factors that influence allergen exposure will be extracted and will be used to calculate the effect of climate and climate change on local airborne allergen exposure. Current users of national pollen information services like atopic individuals, physicians and health authorities will benefit. Current users of national pollen information services like atopic individuals, physicians and health authorities will benefit. Strategic relevance and contribution to the public health programme All methods and instruments for pollen and allergen measurements are equally distributed between the partners. For continuation after the project the local partner only needs to supply consumables (filters, 96-well plates and commercially available antibodies). The instruments are sturdy. The Commission published in OJL56/46, "Adaptation to climate change, and the consequences on human health" and in particular stated "airborne allergens". We focus on airborne allergens, climate change and climate diversity, and an early warning system (allergen forecast). Methods and means 3 major airborne allergens in Europe (grasses, birch and olive) will be sampled on filters, extracted and analyzed by allergen specific ELISA s. Pollen counts will be measured by standard pollen traps. Weather data are freely available. Allergen forecast will be calculated by incorporating our measurements and climatic factors in the SILAM pollen forecast program. Expected outcomes period The implementation of a network of European outdoor allergen measurements to better predict airborne allergen exposure. Also the climatic factors that govern allergen exposure in outdoor air will be established. These can be used to calculate the effect of climate change on exposure to airborne allergens. Page 3/9
