Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper presents the course of oak pollination season in selected cities of Poland in 2014. The measurements were performed in Wroclaw, Sosnowiec, Cracow, Lublin, Szczecin, Bydgoszcz, Drawsko Pomorskie, Olsztyn, Warsaw, Piotrkow Trybunalski and Zielona Gora. Volumetric method with the use of Volumetric Spore Trap (Burkard, Lanzoni) was implemented. Pollen season was defined as the period in which 95% of the annual total catch occurred. Pollen season of oak in 2014 started faster in comparison to 2013. The season started first in Szczecin (3 April). The highest 24-hour average pollen count was recorded in Wroclaw on 14 April (380 oak pollen grains/m3).
