What’s inside
View ResearchExplore the innovative approach of using wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) to assess pollinosis symptom burden at a population scale. This study analyzes antihistamine markers in wastewater samples from Zurich, correlating their levels with airborne pollen concentrations. The results reveal significant day-to-day variation in antihistamine consumption linked to pollen exposure, demonstrating WBE's potential as a cost-effective, objective method for monitoring allergy impacts.
