Abstract

The article presents the comparison ragweed pollen season record in Lublin, Warsaw and Lviv in 2013. The research was carried out in Lublin and Warsaw by means of the volumetric method with the use of Lanzoni devices, whereas in Lviv gravimetric method with Durham sampler was used. Ragweed pollen season was earliest recorded in Lviv (18.17) and was the longest (68 days). The nearing values of ragweed pollen concentration were recorded in Warsaw and Lviv, whereas in Lublin considerably lower.
