The SGA/SSA is an independent, nationwide association with activities in the field of aerobiology. It was founded in 1993 succeeding the Swiss Working Group on Aerobiology. The purpose of the association is to investigate the effects of biological and anthropogenic airborne particles on human health and the environment in an interdisciplinary manner and to provide information on this topic.
The association is made up of members from medical (doctors, pharmacists, epidemiologists, patient organizations), natural sciences (biologists, meteorologists, agronomists, etc.) and industry (pharmaceuticals, manufacturers extract, aerosol measurement instruments, etc.) together.
Aerobiology examines particles of biological origin, which can be found in the atmosphere - pollen, mold spores, bacteria, algae, and others - their sources, their spread and interaction with non-organic particles as well as their effects on humans and the environment.
