The analysis of Oak pollen count in selected Polish cities in 2008
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper presents the course of oak pollination season in selected cities of Poland in 2007. The measurements were performed in Bialystok, Bydgoszcz, Krakow, Lublin, Lodz, Olsztyn, Sosnowiec, Szczecin, Warsaw and Wroclaw. Volumetric method with the use of Volumetric Spore Trap (Burkard, Lanzoni 2000) was implemented. Pollen season was defined as the period in which 95% of the annual total catch occurred. The start of the season was also determined by the 30 grains method. Seasonal Pollen Index (SPI) was estimated as the annual sum of daily average pollen concentrations. Pollen season of oak in 2008 started first in Lublin (25 April). The highest 24-hour average pollen count was recorded in Lublin on 5 May (212 oak pollen grains/m3).
