Assessment of palynological spectrum of air in Kazan

Abstract

This article presents the results of a palynological air monitoring study in Kazan during the period of plant dusting from 2019 to 2022. The aeropalynological spectrum was assessed using a Lanzoni pollen trap. The data obtained during the monitoring demonstrates a rich spore-pollen composition in the air. Twenty-five different plant taxa, as well as two fungal taxa, were identified. Betula and Poaceae have been identified as dominant taxa. The variability in pollen concentrations confirms the need for timely information for the pollen-sensitive population.
