The analysis of alder pollen count in selected Polish cities in 2007
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper presents the course of alder pollination season in selected cities of Poland in 2007. The measurements were performed in Wroclaw, Sosnowiec, Krakow, Lublin, Bydgoszcz, Warszawa, and Szczecin. Volumetric method with the use of Volumetric Spore Trap (Burkard, Lanzoni) was implemented. Pollen season was defined as the period in which 95% of the annual total catch occurred. Pollen season of alder in 2007 started on the average 1.5 months earlier in comparison to 2006. The season started first in Sosnowiec (18 January). The highest 24-hour average pollen count was recorded in Lublin on 12 March (829 alder pollen grains/1m3).
