“…In Turkey, aeropalynological studies are gradually gaining more importance from year to year (Karamanoğlu and Özkaragöz 1968, Aytuğ 1974, Yurdukoru 1979, İnceoğlu et al 1994, Özler and Pehlivan 1995, Bicakci et al 1996, Bicakci et al 1999, Pınar et al 1999, Bicakci et al 2000a,b,c, 2002, Güvensen and Öztürk 2002, Kaplan 2004, Kaya and Aras 2004, Türe and Salkurt 2005, Potoğlu Erkara et al 2007, Toraman 2007, Boyacıoğlu et al 2007, Ayvaz et al 2008, Türe and Böcük 2009, Bılışık et al 2008, Kızılpınar and Doğan 2010, Çeter et al 2012, Kaplan and Serbes 2014.…”

The concentrations of airborne pollen grains in Karabük atmosphere were analyzed during consecutive two years period (1 January 2006-31 December 2007). Pollen grains were sampled using two Durham samplers. In this study period, pollen grains belonging to 45 taxa were recorded. The total quantity of pollen grains were 3877±280.65/cm2 found in 2006, 4022±259.50/cm 2 were in 2007. From these, pollen grains of woody plants were recorded as 3515±225.53/cm 2 in 2006 and 3635±220.98/cm2 in 2007. Pollen grains of herbaceous plants were noted as 355±54.12/cm 2 in 2006 and 375±37.42/cm 2 in 2007. Pollen grains of bushy plants were found as 7±1/cm 2 in 2006 and 12±1.4/cm 2 in 2007. No statistically significant differences have been found between pollen counts from two samplers (t=0.0090-0.7818, p>0.05). Pinus pollen grains were recorded highest level throughout two years. The other arboreal pollen types were Fagus, Ostrya, Quercus, Pistacia, Cupressaceae/Taxaceae, Salix and Abies. Gramineae, Brassicaceae and Chenopodiaceae/Amaranthaceae pollen were recorded highest level of herbaceous plants. Weekly concentrations of pollen grains have been displayed to connection of meteorological factors by Spearman Correlation Analysis. The two-year pollen calendar of Karabük atmosphere was prepared for pollen allergic patients.

This study aims to investigate the differences in the concentrations of airborne fungi and pollens between the towns located in the province of Izmir and to determine the factors contributing to these differences. Five stations in each of four towns (Buca, Konak, Bornova, and Karsiyaka) were randomly selected as the research areas. Fungus (cfu/m(3)) and pollen counts (cm(2)/pollen count) in the air samples collected from each station between June 2003 and May 2004 were measured. The results revealed that whereas Karsiyaka had the highest fungus concentration (521.33 +/- 777.1), Buca and Bornova had the lowest concentration (482.67 +/- 308.44). The mean fungus concentration in the province of Izmir was 501.5 +/- 486.7. Pollen concentration was the highest in Konak (486.67 +/- 839.06) and the lowest in Bornova (369.83 +/- 551.13). Fungus and pollen concentrations revealed no difference between the towns (p > 0.05). The relationship between pollen-fungus concentrations and temperature-dust-humidity-sulphur-dioxide was investigated but it was found statistically insignificant (p > 0.05). As a result of regression analysis, it was determined that correlation of atmospheric parameters had no effects on pollen and fungus concentrations (p > 0.05).

“…The aeropalynological studies undertaken by gravimetric (G) or volumetric (V) methods on the distribution of arboreal pollen in Ankara (Pinar et al, 1999); Rize, Afyon, and Bursa (Bıçakçı et al, 2002;Bicakci et al, 2002Bicakci et al, , 2003; İzmir (Guvensen & Ozturk, 2003); Zonguldak (Kaplan, 2004); Bartın (Kaya & Aras, 2004); Manisa (Ay et al, 2005); Denizli (Celik et al, 2005); Bitlis (Celenk & Bicakci, 2005); Çanakkale (Guvensen et al, 2005); Sakarya (Bicakci, 2006); and İstanbul (Celenk et al, 2010) show that although percentage values differ from the present data, in general, the values of arboreal (39.39%-94%) taxa are higher than those of nonarboreal (6.00%-59.28%) ones (Table 3). An evaluation of the data obtained both qualitatively as well as quantitatively revealed that the reason for the dominance of arboreal atmospheric pollen types in the region is the presence of many shrubs and tree taxa producing large quantities of pollen (Table 3).…”
