Abstract
The course of the <i>Artemisia</i> pollen season was recorded in Lublin over a period of five years: 2001-2005. The volumetric method was applied in the studies, using a VPPS 2000 Lanzoni trap. The length of the season was determined by the 98% method. The impact of several meteorological factors on the start and course of the pollen season was analysed. It was found that in the five-year period studied the mugwort pollen season started in the second or third decade of July and lasted 59-90 days. Maximum concentrations in the range of 103-221 pollen grains in 1 m<sup>3</sup> of air were noted between 2 and 9 August. Annual totals of mugwort pollen grains ranged from 1496 to 2532. A significant positive correlation was demonstrated between the <i>Artemisia</i> pollen concentration and air temperature, and a negative correlation between the pollen concentration and air relative humidity and cloudiness. A significant impact of temperature on the start of the <i>Artemisia</i> pollen season was also found.
