Abstract
This paper presents the course of ash pollination season in selected cities of Poland in 2007. The measurements were performed in Bialystok, Bydgoszcz, Lublin, Sosnowiec, Szczecin, Warsaw and Wroclaw. 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 ash in 2007 started first in Sosnowiec (22 March). The highest 24-hour average pollen count was recorded in Lublin on 28 April (193 ash pollen grains/1m3).
