Hawaii: an ideal model for international aerobiological research

Future aerobiological studies important to mankind's understanding of our planet must demonstrate the ecological interrelationships between the aerial biota of island ecosystems and meteorological, chemical, physical and geographic factors. For example, air quality as related to human health and plant pathology can be more easily ascertained using oceanic islands such as Hawaii with the establishment of an international interdisciplinary aerobiological research team.
