Title Of Article :
IMPORTANT ALLERGENIC POLLENS IN MANISA ATMOSPHERE
Abstract :
The number of people with allergic diseases in the world has increased. A major cause of allergic diseases is the pollen grains Gymnospermae and Angiospermae spreading into the atmosphere from during their reproduction process. Determination of important allergenic pollen spreading atmosphere and their concentrations is important for individuals who are susceptible to pollen allergy. In this study, airborne pollen distribution in the city of Manisa was investigated volumetrically from February 01, 2015 to January 31, 2016 using Lanzoni VPPS 2010. During the study period daily, monthly and annualy distributions of obtained pollen were identified.. During the one-year study period, 9.121 pollen grains/m³ which belonged to 43 taxa were observed. Of the pollen grains, 72.36% belonged to arboreal plants, 13.16% to Poaceae plants, 12.82% to other non-arboreal plants and 1.66% to unidentified plants. On the other hand, high allergenic taxa followed the trend as; Quercus spp. L., Pinaceae, Poaceae, Olea europaea L., Cupressaceae/Taxaceae, Platanus orientalis L., Urticaceae, Plantago spp. L., Amaranthaceae and Morus spp.. Changes in pollen concentrations of these taxa were associated with meteorological parameters such as average temperature, average humidity, total precipitation and wind speed.
