This reviewdiscusses nature pollen proteins asallergens, their effect on human immunesystem mode environmentaltransmission, including effects theinteraction between aeroallergens andair pollution. The influence cross-reactivepollen allergens incidence foodsensitivities also discussed. Floweringplant species that possess allergenic pollen,identified with cloned thesespecies, are
