Abstract

Introduction: In the Polish population, the most common cause of allergic rhinitis (AR) in the spring is birch pollen.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the basic characteristics of the birch pollen season in selected cities in central and northern Poland including Warsaw, Piotrkow Trybunalski, and Bydgoszcz in 2022, considering their clinical implications.

Material and method: Pollen monitoring was conducted using the volumetric method with the Hirst-type continuous volumetric sampler. Measurements were taken in 7-day cycles, and the microscopic analysis was performed for each 24-hour period. Results During the studied period, birch pollen posed a threat in the 2nd and 3rd decades of April and the 1st and 2nd decades of May. The birch pollination intensity was reflected by the very high values of maximum average daily pollen concentration 4102 pollen/m3 in Warsaw, 4389 pollen/m3 in Piotrkow Trybunalski, 3832 pollen/m3 in Bydgoszcz and the sum of the average daily pollen concentrations (i.e. Annual Pollen Integral, APIn) from 32439 in Bydgoszcz to 37638 in Warsaw, and long periods of exposure to high concentrations (2930 days).

Conclusions: The pollen season 2022 is part of an alternating 2-year cycle of the birch pollen season intensity. The variability of parameters describing the dynamics of pollen seasons over years makes it necessary to monitor information on the pollen concentration in the air during the pollen season, both by the patients with inhalant allergy and their physicians.

2022年波兰选定城市空气中桦树花粉浓度极高-临床意义。
简介:在波兰人群中,春季过敏性鼻炎(AR)最常见的原因是桦树花粉。目的:本研究的目的是评估波兰中部和北部城市(包括华沙,Piotrkow Trybunalski和Bydgoszcz)在2022年桦树花粉季节的基本特征,并考虑其临床意义。材料与方法:花粉监测采用体积法,采用hirst型连续体积取样器。以7天为周期进行测量,每24小时进行显微镜分析。结果研究期间,白桦花粉在4月第2、3年和5月第1、2年构成威胁。白桦授粉强度表现为:华沙的最大平均日花粉浓度为4102花粉/m3, Piotrkow Trybunalski为4389花粉/m3,比得哥什为3832花粉/m3,比得哥什为32439 ~ 37638的平均日花粉浓度(即年花粉积分,APIn)和高浓度暴露时间较长(2930 d)。结论:2022年花粉季是白桦花粉季强度2年交替周期的一部分。多年来描述花粉季节动态的参数的可变性使得有必要在花粉季节监测空气中的花粉浓度信息,无论是吸入性过敏患者还是他们的医生。
