Sampling sites: Córdoba province 
Aerobiology team (University of Córdoba) 

Aerobiological monitoring began in Córdoba in 1982 with a sampler placed in the old building of the Science Faculty in the Menéndez Pidal University Campus (western part of the city). Since then, that sampler has been working continuously. The location of the sampler, in the outskirts of the city, allows detecting particles both, from the urban area and from Sierra Morena, Campiña and Sierra Subbética.

 From 2001, a second sampler was placed in the opposite part of the city (eastern part) in the University Campus of Rabanales. This sampler allows us to complete the aerobiological information of the city.

Respect to the other samplers manage by our group, there are 3 more in the province of Córdoba and one in Almería.

In the south of Córdoba, there are two samplers, one in Priego de Córdoba (I.E.S Álvarez Cubero) that began to work in 1994 and another one in Baena (Servicio de Urbanismo de la Diputación de Córdoba) working since 2002. Both samplers are located in a typical area dedicated to olive grove.

Since 1998, there is a sampler in the Natural Park of Hornachuelos (El Cabril) in collaboration with Enresa. This sampler placed in natural area give aerobiological information from the Mediterranean forest.

Finally, since 1995, there is a sampler placed in Chirivel (Almería) dedicated to the aerobiological study of arid zones with risk of desertification.
