Erdtman (1969) defines aeropalynology as the study of palynomorphs found in the atmosphere. The term palynomorph encompasses pollen grains, spores and other bioparticles that cannot be dissolved in hydrofluoric acid. Aeropalynology is a branch of palynology and related to the study of pollen and spores that are dispersed in the atmosphere. The study also includes their eventual dissemination, deposition and impact on human systems.

Pollen grains are dispersed more than 400 miles away from the source plants. They can be found more than two miles above the surface. The airborne pollen grains originate from anemophilous plants and so they are small, light, smooth walled, colourless, produced in large numbers, dry and lack nectar.
