Pollen grains in the atmosphere of Konya (Turkey) and their relationship with meteorological factors, in 2008

Atmospheric pollen was collected by a Burkard Volumetric 7-Day spore trap in Konya, Turkey, in 2008. In the present study, the pollen concentration is presented in relation to meteorological parameters (mean temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, and wind speed). Pollen grains of 35 taxa were identified. | Research Article Turk J Bot 36 (2012): 344-357 © TÜBİTAK doi:10.3906/bot-1011-26 Pollen grains in the atmosphere of Konya (Turkey) and their relationship with meteorological factors, in 2008 İlginç KIZILPINAR¹,*, Cahit DOĞAN1, Hasibe ARTAÇ2, İsmail REİSLİ2, Sevgi PEKCAN2 1 Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Hacettepe University, Ankara - TURKEY 2 Department of Pediatric Immunology and Allergy, Meram Medical Faculty, Selçuk University, Konya - TURKEY Received: 30.11.2010 Accepted: 25.12.2011 Abstract: Atmospheric pollen was collected by a Burkard Volumetric 7-Day spore trap in Konya, Turkey, in 2008. In the present study, the pollen concentration is presented in relation to meteorological parameters (mean temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, and wind speed). Pollen grains of 35 taxa were identified. Of these, 18 taxa were arboreal plants, while the others were non-arboreal plants. The distribution of the total pollen grains was as follows: arboreal plants, 61.29%; Poaceae, 16.09%; non-arboreal plants, 20.25%; and undetermined, 2.37%. Arboreal taxa pollen were represented by Pinaceae, Cupressaceae/Taxaceae, Fabaceae, Betulaceae, Quercus L., Juglandaceae, and Aesculus L., while non-arboreal taxa pollen were represented by Poaceae, Asteraceae, Chenopodiaceae/Amaranthaceae, Brassicaceae, Boraginaceae, Plantago L., and Urticaceae. These were the dominant pollen types found in the atmosphere in Konya. In addition, there are generally significant positive effects of temperature and wind speed and a negative influence of relative humidity on the daily pollen levels belonging to those taxa which contribute more than 1% of the total pollen in the Konya atmosphere. The findings of the present study may be helpful for designing allergen panels as well as for allergy doctors and patients suffering from pollen allergies.
