Over the course of 14 months, we are collecting samples at various locations in Vienna, such as parks, gardens, farmland, woodland, vineyards and water areas. At each location, passive traps are installed. The collected samples will be analyzed through DNA sequencing and spatial modeling to link bioaerosol composition and diversity with the plant composition of different areas.
Many sampling sites have already been set up, but a few important locations are still missing. Therefore, we are reaching out to ask for your support.
We are currently looking for:
A house with a private garden (single-family home or allotment garden) in Ottakring or Floridsdorf
A rooftop (as a reference site) with no or minimal vegetation in Ottakring, near Augarten, or in the 4th, 5th or 15th district
Do you have access to such places yourself, or do you know someone who might be able to help? Or do you have any questions about the project? Please feel free to contact me!
Thank you very much for your support!
Kind regards,
Viktoria Stagl for the AirBiD Team
