Abstract
The paper presents the course of hazel, alder, birch, ash, oak, grasses and mugworth in Sosnowiec (Poland) in year 2012. Measurements were performed by the volumetric method Burkard pollen sampler. Pollen season was define as the period in which 95% of the annual total catch occurred. Pollen season of hazel and birch in 2012 started more 6 days later in comparison to 2010–2011. Birch pollen season was marked by high daily pollen counts and high annual sum of daily pollen counts. The highest diurnal birch pollen count was recorded on 20 April (5795 grains/m3).
