Alder pollen in the air of selected Polish cities in 2015
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare the pollen season of alder in the cities of Bialystok, Bydgoszcz, Cracow, Lublin, Olsztyn, Opole, Piotrkow Trybunalski, Sosnowiec, Warsaw, Wroclaw and Zielona Gora in 2015. Measurements were performed with the volumetric method (Burkard and Lanzoni pollen sampler). Seasonal Pollen Index (SPI) was estimated as the annual sum of daily average pollen concentrations. The pollen season of alder started first in Szczecin and Zielona Gora, 9th of March, while in the other cities it started 10th of March. The highest airborne concentration, 707 pollen grains/m3, was noted in Lublin on 11th of March. The maximum values of seasonal pollen count occurred between 8th and 13th of March in all mentioned cities
