background: allergy is a clinical disorder affecting the human population with wide geographical distribution. platanus orientalis (p. orientalis) trees are planted in many countries and their pollen causes allergic reactions. cyclophilin has recently been identified as one of the most important allergens of p. orientalis pollen. we aimed to clone and purify this allergen in escherichia coli fo...

We present for the first time continuous hourly measurements of pollen near-surface concentration and lidarderived profiles of particle backscatter coefficients and of volume and particle depolarization ratios during a 5-day pollination event observed in Barcelona, Spain, between 27 and 31 March 2015. Daily average concentrations ranged from 1082 to 2830 pollen m−3. Platanus and Pinus pollen ty...

In this study, activated carbon was produced from platanus orientalis leaves and the adsorption of methylene blue onto investigated. Facile chemical activation route conducted for process lignocellulosic leaves. ZnCl2 used as activating agent with different ratios. Morphological, structural characteristics samples were determined by using optical microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrosc...

Tehran, one of the heavily-populated capitals, is severely suffering from increasing air pollution. To show a documented trend of such pollutants during last years, plane tree species (Platanus orientalis) were suited to be studied as indicators, for the species have been planted throughout the city many years ago. Two areas (Saadatabad and Narmak districts) allotting different contents of crow...
