Pollen data from the atmosphere of Vigo, NW Spain was collected using a Hirst type pollen trap over a seven-year period (1995-2001). A total of 56 different pollen types were identified, among which Urticaceae, Poaceae, Betula and Quercus represent the greatest risk for people suffering from allergic rhinitis (hay fever) or other allergic diseases. Although in the atmosphere of Vigo the presence of allergenic pollen is constant throughout the year, the months of March and April account for 40% of the annual total pollen count. Two main risk periods have been identified for asthma and allergies: (1) March - April, and (2) June - July, the latter is of greater importance due to high concentrations of Poaceae pollen. Correlation analysis with meteorological parameters demonstrates that rainfall, relative humidity, maximum temperature, sun hours and north-easterly winds are the main factors influencing the average daily pollen concentrations in the atmosphere. |
