Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the pollen season of birch (Betula) in Białystok in 2010. The measurements were performed by volumetric method with the use of VPPS Lanzoni. The pollen season was determined as the period in which 98% of the annual total catch occurred. The pollen season began on the 25th of March and the highest concentration of birch pollen was observed on the 16th of April (3419 pollen grain/1 m3). The thirty-two days with the concentration over 20 p/m3, 22 days with the concentration over 75 p/m3 and 20 days with the concentration over 90 p/m3 were noted.
