Abstract
In the present study, birch pollen season patterns in Poland in 2012 have been compared. Airborne pollen counts were made in Białystok, Bydgoszcz, Drawsko Pomorskie, Kraków, Lublin, Łódź, Olsztyn, Opole, Piotrków Trybunalski, Sosnowiec, Szczecin, Warsaw, Wrocław and Zielona Góra. The investigations were performed using the volumetric method as well as the Burkard and Lanzoni traps. The highest diurnal birch pollen count was recorded in Warsaw in 28 April (7986 grains/m3) in Piotrkow Trybunalski and in 22 April in Lodz (7200 grains/m3). In all the cities, a large number of days was recorded with a concentration exceeding the threshold concentration for birch (14–29 days).
