Aerobiology is a branch of biology that studies organic particles, such as bacteria, fungal spores, very small insects and pollen, which are passively transported by the air (Spieksma, 1991).
One of the main fields of aerobiology has traditionally been to measure and report quantities of airborne pollen as a service to allergy sufferers (Larsson, 1993).

 Department of Plant Pathology Faculty Pages: Scott A. Isard
My involvement in aerobiology at the University of Illinois, before I joined PSU in August 2004, can be divided into two distinct phases.
In addition, I have expanded my activities in aerobiology beyond agriculture through involvement in the Biometeorology and Aerobiology Science and Technology Advisory Committee (STAC) within the American Meteorological Society and by forging a strong linkage between the North American aerobiology research community and the International Aerobiology Association centered in Europe.
As a result of the workshop, the Alliance for Aerobiology Research (AFAR) was founded, and I was thrust into a leadership role at the national level within aerobiology.
