Abstract

The paper presents a comparison of ragweed pollen seasons in Zielona Gora, Opole, Wroclaw, Sosnowiec, Cracow, and Lublin. The investigations were carried out with the volumetric method. The ragweed pollen season began on different days of August. The maximum daily pollen count in all the cities was noted at the end of August. The greatest risk of allergies caused by the presence of airborne ragweed pollen was reported from Zielona Gora, Opole, and Sosnowiec.
