The analysis of birch pollen count in selected Polish cities in 2010
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the present study, birch pollen season patterns in Poland in 2009 have been compared. Airborne pollen counts were made in Białystok, Bydgoszcz, Olsztyn, Piotrków Trybunalski, Sosnowiec, Warsaw and Wrocław. The investigations were performed using the volumetric method as well as the Burkard and Lanzoni traps. The pollen season duration was determined using the method of 95%. The highest diurnal birch pollen count was recorded in Bialystok in 16th April (3419 grains/m3) and in Bydgoszcz (2563 grains/m3). In all the cities, a large number of days was recorded with a concentration exceeding the threshold concentration for birch (18–23 days).
