Yew and juniper pollen in the air of selected Polish cities<br /> in 2009. The influence of meteorological factors and air pollution
Journal Title: Alergoprofil - Year 2009, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The objective of the studies was to compare the pollen seasons of yew and juniper in the cities of Szczecin, Wrocław, Bydgoszcz, Lublin, Kraków, Warsaw and Sosnowiec in 2009 and to determinate an influence of meteorological parameters and air pollution on pollen concentration in Szczecin. Measurements were performed by the volumetric method (Burkard and Lanzoni 2000 pollen sampler). Pollen season was defined as the period in which 98% of the annual total catch occurred. Seasonal Pollen Index (SPI) was estimated as the annual sum of daily average pollen concentrations. The pollen season of yew and juniper started first in Szczecin and Wroclaw on the 14th of March and in the other cities it started during the next ten days. The differences of pollen seasons duration were considerables. The highest, record airborne concentration of 505 pollen grains × m-3 was noted in Szczecin on the 31st of March.
