Abstract
The paper presents the course of hazel, alder, birch, grasses, mugworth and Alternaria spores in Sosnowiec (Poland) in year 2013. Measurements were performed by the volumetric method Burkard pollen sampler. Pollen season was define as the period in which 98% of the annual total catch occurred. The highest daily pollen concentrations were noted for birch (892 pollen grains/m3) and for alder (623 pollen grains/m3), appeared respectively in 24 and 12 April. Maximum grass pollen concentration amounted to 198 pollen grains/m3 (14.06), and mugworth 70 pollen grains/m3 (5.08).
