Pollen Spectrum of Gonen (Balikesir) Atmosphere

Öz

In this study, pollen amounts and variations were monitored in the atmosphere of Gonen-Balıkesir annually by using gravimetric method. A total of 38 taxa and unidentified pollen grains were recorded and from these, 22 of them belong to arboreal plants (AP), 16 to non-arboreal plants (NAP). During the sampling period 4916 pollen counted per cm², of which 73.13% pertain to arboreal plants, 26.08% to non-arboreal plants and 0.79% to unidentified. Dominating taxa in the air of sampling cite were Pinus (19.08%), Poaceae (16.94%), Cupressaceae/Taxaceae (10.50%), Quercus (9.62%), Juglans (9.52%), Olea europaea (8.58%), Platanus (6.20%), Amaranthaceae (3.32%), Asteraceae (2.71%), Alnus (1.59%), Acer (1.14%) and Morus (1.14%); all of dominated pollen types previously reported as allergenic in the literature. In the study period, the pollen amount reached its highest level in May.

Gönen (Balıkesir) atmosferinin Polen Spektrumu

Öz

Bu çalışmada Gönen-Balıkesir atmosferinde görülen yıllık polen miktar ve değişimi gravimetrik metod kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Toplam 38 takson ve tanımlanamayan polenler kaydedilmiştir ve bunlardan 22 tanesi odunsu bitkilere (AP), 16 tanesi otsu bitkilere (NAP) aittir. Örnekleme süresi boyunca cm²’de 4916 polen kaydedilmiş olup, bunların %73,13’ü odunsu bitkilere, %26,12’si otsu bitkilere %0,75’i ise tanımlanamayan polenlere aittir. Örnekleme sahası atmosferindeki dominant taksonlar; Pinus (%19,08), Poaceae (%16,94), Cupressaceae/Taxaceae (%10,50), Quercus (%9,62), Juglans (%9,52), Olea europaea (%8,58), Platanus (%6,20), Amaranthaceae (%3,32), Asteraceae (%2,71), Alnus (%1,59), Acer (%1,14) ve Morus (%1.14) olup; literatürde tüm dominant polen tiplerinin allerjik olduğu rapor edilmiştir. Çalışma süresinde polen miktarı Mayıs ayında en yüksek seviyede görülmüştür.
