pollinosis		 Summary: The results of long-term aeropalynological monitoring in the territory of Petrozavodsk using the gravimetric method are presented. The duration of the pollen season in Petrozavodsk is average of 18 decades from the beginning of April to the end of September. The maximum content of allergen pollen in the city air was recorded in May and June - from 50 to 71% of the annual amount of allergenic pollen. In the aeropalynological spectrum of Petrozavodsk pollen of 8 trees and 6 herbaceous taxa have allergenic properties: Alnus Mill., Betula L., Pinus L., Populus L., Salix L., Ulmus L., Fraxinus L., Tilia L., Plantago L., Chenopodium L., Rumex L., Artemisia L., Urtica L., Poaceae Barnh. Based on the results of the study, an average pollen calendar for Petrozavodsk was compiled. The local pollen calendar can be used by allergist doctors to clarify the reasons for the pollinosis, as well as to draw up recommendations on the greening of the urban area.
