text:
John Malcolm Hirst was a British aerobiologist, known for his invention of the Hirst spore trap, which enabled accurate, routine estimates of spore and pollen concentrations found in the atmosphere. The spore trap was a breakthrough in understanding epidemics of plant disease, identifying airborne allergens, and predicting pollen danger alerts for people with allergic rhinitis. Soon after the invention, many such spore traps were installed by hospitals.
