![]() Studies of the concentration of fungal spores performed in Poland thus far refer to outdoor analyses (Gaweł et al. The first investigations into airborne fungal spores in Poland were conducted in the two cities: Kraków and Rabka (Weiss 1962) where 15 types of fungal spores were identified. Knowledge of the relations between spore production and different environmental growth conditions can be used to effect more efficient and reliable application of pesticides, or to improve diagnosis and treatment of respiratory allergic diseases (Rodriquez-Rajo et al. Such factors include the time of day, geographic location, air pollution, weather conditions, human activity and local sources of vegetation. The individual importance of each parameter is hard to assess due to the dynamic nature of the atmosphere. Their concentration in the atmosphere is the result of complex interaction between biological and environmental factors however, relatively little is known about these relationships. For these spore types, the dew point temperature and relative humidity appeared to be the most influential factor.įungal spores play a significant role in plant pathology and human respiratory allergy. The similar relations were noted for hourly values of spore concentrations for p = 0.05, p = 0.01 and p = 0.001. The average wind speed was positively correlated for p = 0.01 and the coefficient was 0.291. For daily values of dew point temperature and relative humidity, the coefficients were positive, significant for p = 0.001 and ranged from 0.342 to 0.258. In 20 the late-night maximum was overdue about 1 or 2 h. High values of daily concentration of amerospores occurred during the afternoon and late at night. The highest annual number of spores occurred in 20 and the lowest in 2006. The peak period was recorded in August, September, October and November. The highest concentrations were noted in September, October and November. Fungal spores were present in the air in high numbers in late summer and early autumn. The presence of spores in Szczecin was recorded using a volumetric method. The objective of the studies was to determine a seasonal variation in concentrations of amerospores on the basis of meteorological parameters. The investigation into airborne fungal spore concentrations was conducted in Szczecin (Poland) between 20. ![]()
