Abstract
Background Pollinosis, commonly known as seasonal allergic rhinoconjuctivitis or hay fever, is the world’s most prevalent allergic disorder, posing substantial health and economic impacts. This study explores the application of wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) to assess the population-scale burden of pollinosis by correlating antihistamine markers in wastewater with airborne pollen data.
