COURSE OUTLINE & SYLLABUS

Students engage in an intensive study of pollen, fern and fungal spores. Methods for identification, classification and morphological description are covered in detail.

Students are shown the methodology for the extraction and isolation of pollen and spores from air samples, soils, and forensic materials, and then perform select procedures on their own. Time is spent on sampling equipment and strategies, as well as counting and reporting. Students gain a working knowledge of how to isolate, count and identify pollen and spores.

This course is appropriate for anyone involved in aerobiology, forensic science, or indoor air quality. This course is appropriate for AAAAI network counters.

There is no prerequisite for this course.
