Abstract
The aim of the project part is to develop a model for estimating the potential health risks for human by atmospheric pollution with urticating hairs (setae) of the oak processionary moth, Thaumetopoea processionea. We use various methods to assess the population density at three study sites and record the concentration of setae depending on the distance of the moth infestation sites and wind conditions by automatically recording sampling traps. Based on the relationship between moth population density, weather conditions, and the concentration of airborne setae an early warning system will be developed.
