The objective of this investigation was to identify the overall pollen types and, more particularly, the allergenic pollen content in the investigated area and then to explore their seasonal variations. The measurement point was located in the Timisoara city, Romania. A Lanzoni volumetric trap was used for sample collection. Duration of the pollen season of allergenic plants and respective variation in airborne pollen concentration are presented

Corylus (hazel) pollen is considered to be an important aeroallergen and its appearing in the atmosphere indicates the beginning of the aeropollen season in the observed region. The aim of this study was to present and compare the profiles of the hazel pollen season in three cities of the Danube-Kris-Mures-Tisa Euroregion, in order to furnisch a basis for the future forecasting model. Novi Sad (Serbia and Montenegro), Szeged (Hungary) and Timisoara

During the past 5 years growing scientific interest in airborne ragweed pollen in relation to pollinosis has spread over Carpathian Basin.The ragweed pollen concentrations in the last five years (2000-2004) were studied in some cities, as Szeged, Pecs, Timisoara, Novi Sad, Zagreb and Ljubljana, within the framework of Euroregional Polleninformation Service. Some parameters of Ambrosia pollen, as annual sums of daily averages, maximum daily concentration

The Alternaria sp. and Cladosporium sp. conidia are relatively important causes for sensitization and unleashing of the allergic simptomathology especially during the months of summer-late summer. The dissemination is produced by drying spores, easylinked and scattered in air. The aim of this study is to watch for the first time in Romania the incidence of these bioparticles and possible their participation in biological pollution. We identified

Grasses (Poaceae) are cosmopolitan plants with worldwide distribution. Their airborne pollen grains are very allergenic and causing pollinosis. Grasses are very common in the DKMT Euroregion and in the three bigest cities of the Euroregion: in Szeged (Hungary), in Novi Sad (Serbia and Montenegro) and in Timişoara (Romania). Hirst-type volumetric pollen samplers are located to measure their airborne pollen concentrations. During our research we have
