What do we do

Outdoor aerobiological monitoring of pollen and fungal spores

	Pollens bulletin and calendar
	Monitoring of meteorological parameters (Work in progress)

Indoor aerobiological monitoring

	Controlled contamination healthcare environments: Classification, microbiological sampling of air (active and passive) and surfaces, particulate sampling of air
	Conservation environments of cultural heritage: Microbiological sampling of air (active and passive) of surfaces, particulate sampling of air
	Living and working environments: Microbiological sampling of air (active and passive) of surfaces, particulate sampling of air

Microclimate monitoring

Main lines of research

Standardization of biological sampling methods of air and surfaces (bacteria, fungi and viruses)
Turbulent flow or unidirectional flow ventilation systems and air contamination in the operating room
Pollen concentrations and allergenic potency
Valutazione delle variazioni delle stagionalità pollinica come indicatore di cambiamenti climatici
Analysis of the spread of allergenic pollen from non-native weeds
