“…In the United States, over 26% of the population is sensitive to Ambrosia pollen. In Europe, sensitisation is still increasing (Jäger 2000; Rybníček et al 2000; Yankova et al 2000; Vitányi et al 2003; Chrenová et al 2009). In Hungary—one of the most ragweed-contaminated countries in Europe—approximately 60% of pollinosis sufferers are sensitive to Ambrosia pollen (Vitányi et al 2003; Makra et al 2005).…”

The occurrence of Ambrosia pollen in Rzeszów, Kraków and Poznań, Poland: investigation of trends and possible transport of Ambrosia pollen from Ukraine

Previous studies have shown that ragweed pollen arrives in Poland from sources in the south, in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Austria. It is likely that ragweed pollen also arrives from sources in the southeast (e.g. Ukraine). This hypothesis was investigated using 13 years of pollen data and back-trajectory analysis. Ambrosia pollen data were collected at three sites in Poland, Rzeszów, Kraków and Poznań. The amount of ragweed pollen recorded at Rzeszów was significantly higher than in Poznań and Kraków. This can be related to either a higher abundance of local populations of Ambrosia in south-east Poland or the proximity of Rzeszów to foreign sources of ragweed pollen. The combined results of pollen measurements and air mass trajectory calculations identified plumes of Ambrosia pollen that were recorded at Rzeszów, Kraków and Poznań on 4 and 5 September 1999 and 3 September 2002. These plumes arrived at the pollen-monitoring sites from an easterly direction, indicating sources of Ambrosia pollen in eastern Poland or Ukraine. This identifies Ukraine as a possible new source of ragweed pollen for Poland and therefore an important source area of Ambrosia pollen on the European Continent.

“…It is thought that imported contaminated birdseed is a major source of ragweed introduction into Sweden [1]. Ragweed has also been noted in Austria, [36]Bulgaria, [37] Poland, [38] and Slovakia [39]. …”

Multiple factors are contributing to the expansion of ragweed on a worldwide scale. This review seeks to examine factors that may contribute to allergen expansion with reference to ragweed as a well-studied example. It is our hope that increased surveillance for new pollens in areas not previously affected and awareness of the influence the changing environment plays in allergic disease will lead to better outcomes in susceptible patients.

Studies on Ambrosia pollen concentrations were carried out in Lublin in the period [1995][1996][1997][1998][1999][2000][2001][2002][2003][2004]. The effects of a number of meteorological factors were analysed. In the first period of the study, the gravimetric method was used (1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999), while in the second period, the volumetric method was applied. The results show an increasing trend in the amount of airborne pollen. The Ambrosia pollen season in Lublin lasts from August to October. Over a period of 5 years, the highest number of pollen grains was recorded in September (53%), followed by August (44%) and October (3%). There were wide variations in annual totals. The annual total pollen counts was 167-1180 grains, with the peak value in 2002. Maximum daily pollen concentrations (56-312 pollen grains m )3 ) were recorded in the first half of August and in the first half of September. On the days when high Ambrosia pollen concentrations occurred, the temperature was above 21°C and the winds were mainly from the southeast, south and east. Maximum intradiurnal concentrations of pollen grains occurred in the afternoon hours. These results indicate, to some degree, that Ambrosia pollen is transported for long distances before descent.
