Abstract
A study is made on pollen emission into atmosphere of 21 species of anemophilous plants ( Betula divaricata Ledeb., Betula costata Trautv., Betula davurica Pall., Betula fruticosa Pall., Ulmus japonica (Rehd.)Sarg., Salix acutifolia Willd., Salix cinerea L., Salix purpurea L., Salix rosmarinifolia L., Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn., Poa alpina L., Arrhenatherum elatius (L.) J. Presl & C. Presl, Briza maxima L., Deschampsia cespitosa (L.) P. Beauv., Urtica urens L., Carex altaica (Gorodkov) V.I. Krecz., Carex pallescens L., Carex flacca Schreb., Carex vesicaria L., Carex diluta M. Bieb., Plantago lanceolata L.), exposed by the Central Siberian Botanical Garden, SB RAS. These plants are widely spread over the territory of the Russian Federation and produce great amounts of allergenic pollen. The proportion of clusters of two or more pollen grains from the total number of pollen particles entering the atmosphere during the flowering periods of these plant species is estimated. It was shown that such clusters in significant quantities were formed in all series of experiments. At the same time, the proportion of pollen grains in their composition could reach 95% of the total number of pollen grains entering the atmosphere.
