Comparison of diurnal variation of airborne pollen in Mar del Plata (Argentina): 2. Arboreal pollen

Intradiurnal variation of arboreal pollen (AP) in Mar del Plata city is compared during three non -consecutive years of survey and described in relation to the associated weather. The daily pattern of pollen abundance has a maximum between 10:00 and 12:00 h, while a minimum occurs at 18:00 h. The fi...

Sumario:Intradiurnal variation of arboreal pollen (AP) in Mar del Plata city is compared during three non -consecutive years of survey and described in relation to the associated weather. The daily pattern of pollen abundance has a maximum between 10:00 and 12:00 h, while a minimum occurs at 18:00 h. The first two years of survey showed homogeneous daily trends, but in 1995 the maximum and minimum concentrations were delayed because of the change in position of the collecting station. Arboreal pollen spectrum presented qualitative and quantitative changes in the three years analysed. Results indicate optimal conditions for diurnal dispersion of arboreal pollen are high temperatures and low relative humidity. Also interaction between source position and wind direction has important effects on the timing of the peaks of some pollen types.
