Hazel 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 hazel in the cities of Bialystok, Bydgoszcz, Drawsko Pomorskie, Cracow, Lublin, Olsztyn, Opole, Piotrkow Trybunalski, Sosnowiec, Szczecin, Warsaw, Wroclaw and Zielona Gora in 2015. Measurements were performed by the volumetric method (Burkard and Lanzoni pollen sampler). Seasonal Pollen Index (SPI) was estimated as the sum of daily average pollen concentrations in the given season. The pollen season of hazel started first in Zielona Gora and Drawsko Pomorskie (January 13) and in Wroclaw (January 14) and in Opole (January 15). The highest airborne concentration (215 pollen grains/m3) was noted in Lublin on the 1st of March. The maximum values of seasonal pollen count occurred on the 1st of March or 8–12 of March in all cities.
