Airborne pollen distribution in the city of Nicosia (Cyprus) was measured volumetrically during two consecutive years 2007-2008 on weekly basis using Lanzoni trap (Lanzoni VPPS 2000). A total of 7,880 pollen grains/m(3) belonging to 44 taxa, in 2007 were 3,593 pollen grains/m(3) and in 2008 it was 4,287 pollen grains/m(3), were determined. Out of these, 25 belonged to the arboreal and 19 to the non-arboreal taxa. At the end of 2 years, total pollen counts were 78.76% arboreal, 19.32% non-arboreal, and 1.92% unidentified taxa. The number of pollen in the arboreal plants followed the trend as Pinaceae (29.96%), Cupressaceae/Taxaceae (18.33%), Olea europaea L. (6.92%), and Quercus spp. (4.92%), and for non-arboreal representatives, these were Poaceae (8.46%), Chenopodiaceae/Amaranthaceae (2.61%), Plantago spp. (1.69%), and Parietaria spp. (1.51%). The distribution of pollen in the atmosphere of Nicosia followed the trend as March, April, May, and June.
2007 年至 2008 年，连续两年每周使用 Lanzoni 陷阱（Lanzoni VPPS 2000）对塞浦路斯尼科西亚市的空气花粉分布进行了体积测量。共测定 7880 粒花粉/立方米，属于 44 个分类群，2007 年为 3593 粒花粉/立方米，2008 年为 4287 粒花粉/立方米。其中，25 种属于树木花粉，19 种属于非树木花粉。两年后，总花粉计数为 78.76%的树木花粉、19.32%的非树木花粉和 1.92%的未识别花粉。树木植物的花粉数量遵循松科（29.96%）、柏科/紫杉科（18.33%）、油橄榄（6.92%）和栎属（4.92%）的趋势，而非树木植物的代表是禾本科（8.46%）、藜科/苋科（2.61%）、车前草属（1.69%）和豚草属（1.51%）。尼科西亚大气中的花粉分布趋势为三月、四月、五月和六月。
