Abstract
This paper presents the course of ash pollination season in selected cites of Poland in 2009.The measurements were performed in Szczecin, Poznań, Wrocław, Sosnowiec, Kraków, Lublin, Łódź, Warszawa, Bydgoszcz and Białystok. The research was carried out by means of the volumetric method with the use of Burkard and Lanzoni devices. The pollen season was determined by means of the 95 % method. The beginning of ash pollen season occurred between 6 and 16 April. The highest concentration values were recorded in Warszawa, Bydgoszcz and Białystok (675, 564 and 342 grains/m3) and the lowest in Wrocław (19 grains/m3).
