Background Information

Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and asthma attacks triggered by grass pollen, can regularly affect up to three million Australians. Natural factors such as ecology, land cover, weather and wind direction influence seasonal and daily levels of airborne pollen. Even moderate levels of airborne grass pollen can reduce quality of life by disrupting regular activities.

The annual direct medical cost of asthma alone is $1.1 billion, according to Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy’s (ASCIA) Access Economics Report of 2007. The total societal cost of asthma and allergies was estimated at $30 billion.
