Mugwort (Artemisia L.), nettle (Urtica L.) and plantain (Plantago L.) pollen in the atmosphere of Wrocław in the years 2002-2004
The paper includes the results of pollen season analysis of the selected plants (mugwort, nettle, plantain) regarded as the most allergenic in Wrocław in 2002-2004. The studies were carried out using volumetric method (Burkard trap). The results show strong variation in pollen seasons. The average duration of the pollen season of <i>Artemisia</i> was 82 days. The highest pollen concentration of mugwort was recorded in 2004 (156 grains × m<sup>-3</sup>). The start of nettle pollen seasons varied in studied period on average by 24 days, on average, but its end was almost the same. The pollen season of <i>Urtica</i> was the earliest in 2004. It started on 5<sup>th</sup> May and lasted 136 days. The annual pollen total of <i>Plantago</i> was relatively low, on average 0.2-0.4% in annual pollen totals.
