Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare the concentration of Cladosporium spores in Szczecin, Warsaw, Cracow and Poznan in 2014. Measurements were performed by the volumetric method (Burkard and Lanzoni pollen and spores sampler). Cladosporium season was defined as the period in which 90% of the annual total catch occurred. The Cladosporium season started first in Szczecin (on the 30th March) and in the other cities it started during the next five weeks. The fungal season started last in Poznan.
