Description
Summary:The paper considers the results of aeropalinolinologic research performed in the Department of Geography of the Institute of Natural Sciences of the VyatGGU. The qualitative and quantitative composition of the pollen spectrum of urban air in the taiga zone of the North-East of the European part of Russia - Ukhta, Syktyvkar and Mikun. The dynamics of the quantitative content of allergenic pollen of different taxa in the air is revealed. Three periods of increasing pollen concentration in the air of the region under study are investigated: spring period which is associated with the flowering trees (sometimes called “wooden hay fever”), summer period (meadow grass), and autumn period (weeds). The main part in spore-pollen spectra is wind-pollinated plant products, their pollen is released in large quantities and is easily carried over large distances. Based on preliminary results, the most dangerous period for people suffering from hay fever, with maximum pollen content in the air, was stated.
