Abstract
In this paper results of studies over the course of pollen seasons of hazel (Corylus), alder (Alnus), birch (Betula), grasses (Poaceae) and (Artemisia) has been presented. The studies were carried in Warsaw (Bielany district) in 2013 using volumetric method (Lanzoni). Pollen season was defined as a period in which 98% of the annual total catch occurred.
