In this study, between 01 November 2021 and 31 October 2022, weekly and monthly changes in atmospheric pollen concentrations of the Tire district were revealed using the “Lanzoni VPPS 2010” brand pollen capture tool according to the volumetric method. Pollen belonging to a total of 42 taxa, 27 woody, and 15 herbaceous, was found in the atmosphere. The highest pollen concentrations were in Pinaceae 29.61% (6.969 pollen/m3), Cupressaceae/Taxaceae 25.8% (6.079 pollen/m3), Quercus 11,2% (2.636 pollen/m3), Olea europaea 10.7% (2.520 polen/m3), Morus 5.69% (1.332 polen/m3), Poaceae 4.43% (1.043 pollen/m3), Urticaceae 1.45% (350 pollen/m3) and Plantago 1.31% (304 pollen/m3) taxa. It has been determined that the months with the highest total pollen amounts in the air are April 28,8% (6.775 pollen/m3), May 26.55% (6.254 pollen/m3) and March 26.22% (6.176 pollen/m3), respectively. The relationships between pollen concentrations in the air and atmospheric parameters such as precipitation amount, temperature, wind speed and relative humidity have been revealed statistically. It was determined that the total pollen amounts of all plant groups were statistically significantly affected by temperature and precipitation parameters (p<0.001).

Tire (İzmir) İlçesinin Atmosferik Polenleri

Öz

Bu çalışmada, 01 Kasım 2021 ile 31 Ekim 2022 tarihleri arasında volumetrik yöntem uyarınca “Lanzoni VPPS 2010” marka polen yakalama aracı kullanılarak Tire ilçesinin atmosferik polen konsantrasyonlarındaki aylık değişimler ortaya konulmuştur. Atmosferde 27 odunsu ve 15 otsu olmak üzere toplam 42 taksona ait polene rastlanmıştır. En yüksek polen konsantrasyonları Pinaceae %29.6 (6.969 polen/m3), Cupressaceae/Taxaceae %25.8 (6.079 polen/m3), Quercus %11.2 (2.636 polen/m3), Olea europaea %10.7 (2.520 polen/m3), Morus %5.69 (1.332 polen/m3), Poaceae %4.43 (1.043 polen/m3), Urticaceae %1.45 (350 polen/m3) ve Plantago %1.31 (304 polen/m3) taksonlarına aittir. Havada toplam polen miktarları en fazla olan ayların sırasıyla Nisan %28.8 (6.775 polen/m3), Mayıs %26.55 (6.254 polen/m3) ve Mart %26.22 (6.176 polen/m3) olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Havadaki polen konsantrasyonları ile yağış miktarı, sıcaklık, rüzgar hızı ve nisbi nem gibi atmosferik parametreler arasındaki ilişkiler istatistiksel olarak ortaya konulmuştur. Tüm bitki gruplarına ait toplam polen miktarlarının sıcaklık ve yağış parametrelerinden istatistiksel olarak önemli düzeyde etkilendiği belirlenmiştir (p<0.001).
