Abstract
The paper presents the course of Ambrosia pollen season in selected cities in Poland in 2014. The measurements were performed in Bialystok, Lublin, Lodz, Sosnowiec, Szczecin, Warsaw, Wroclaw, Zielona Gora and Roztocze National Park. Volumetric method with the use of Burkard and Lanzoni spore trap was implemented. Pollen season was defined with 98% method. The season started first in Lodz (25.07) and Lublin (29.07) and the latest date (17.08) was recorded in Wroclaw. The highest 24-hour average pollen counts were stated in Wroclaw and Sosnowiec, and the lowest in Bialystok. The highest annual pollen sum was recorded in Lublin and Sosnowiec.
