Abstract

The organization of the Italian Network for the Allergenic Pollen Monitoring is introduced. This Network is made up of 83 survey stations, 70 of which have operated regularly during 1988. They all carry out their activities utilizing the same methods, which are standardized by the Associazione Italiana di Aerobiologia (AIA). The spreading of the sampling and analysis methods worked out by AIA has been supported by preparatory and specialization courses held all over Italy and having as their goal the technical training of all station operators. The data transfer is primarily based on the utilization of Personal Computers with the aim of speeding up the building of the National Data Bank. Some specific stations, which better represent the Italian situation have been selected to join the European Aeroallergen Network.
