The forests of north-eastern Croatia, as well as various plants and trees in the parks and streets of the Osijek-Baranja County, produce large amounts of pollen during the pollen season, which can cause allergy symptoms in pollen sensitive individuals. The aim of this study was to determine the most frequent types of pollen in this area and estimate possible health risks, especially the risk of allergy. In 2009 and 2010, the staff of the Health Ecology Department of the Osijek Public Health Institute monitored tree pollen concentrations in four cities from the Osijek - Baranja County (Osijek, Našice, Đakovo and Beli Manastir) using a Burkard volumetric instrument. The results were affected by weather conditions. Windy and sunny days facilitated the transfer of pollen, whereas during rainy days, the concentration of pollen grains decreased. High pollen concentrations of Cupressaceae/Taxaceae, Betulaceae, Salicaceae and Aceraceae could be the cause for symptoms of pollen allergy. In 2009, conifers, birch and poplar pollen were dominant at all monitoring stations with 5000 pollen grains (PG), 3188 PG and 3113 PG respectively. The highest number of pollen grains was recorded at measuring site Osijek. The variations in airborne pollen concentration between pollen seasons were recorded at all monitoring stations. The most obvious variations were recorded at measuring site Osijek. The usual pollination period lasts two to three months, which means that most pollen grains remain present from February to early June. However, the Cupressaceae / Taxaceae pollination periods last the longest and their pollen grains remain present until the end of summer. The risk of allergy was determined at four monitored measuring stations and the obtained data confirmed that the largest number of days with a high health risk was at the Đakovo measuring station for a species of birch. The research information aims to help allergologists and individuals allergic to plant pollen develop preventive measures and proper treatment therapies.
克罗地亚东北部的森林，以及奥西耶克 - 巴拉尼亚县公园和街道上的各种植物和树木，在花粉季节会产生大量花粉，这可能会使花粉敏感人群出现过敏症状。本研究的目的是确定该地区最常见的花粉类型，并评估可能的健康风险，尤其是过敏风险。2009年和2010年，奥西耶克公共卫生研究所健康生态部的工作人员使用伯卡德体积式仪器，对奥西耶克 - 巴拉尼亚县的四个城市（奥西耶克、纳希采、达科沃和贝利马纳斯特尔）的树木花粉浓度进行了监测。结果受到天气条件的影响。刮风且阳光充足的日子有利于花粉传播，而在雨天，花粉颗粒浓度会降低。柏科/红豆杉科、桦木科、杨柳科和槭树科的高花粉浓度可能是花粉过敏症状的起因。2009年，所有监测站的针叶树、桦树和杨树花粉占主导地位，分别为5000个花粉粒（PG）、3188个PG和3113个PG。在测量地点奥西耶克记录到的花粉粒数量最多。所有监测站都记录了花粉季节之间空气中花粉浓度的变化。在测量地点奥西耶克记录到的变化最为明显。通常的授粉期持续两到三个月，这意味着大多数花粉粒在2月至6月初都存在。然而，柏科/红豆杉科的授粉期持续时间最长，其花粉粒一直存在到夏末。在四个监测测量站确定了过敏风险，获得的数据证实，健康风险高的天数最多的是达科沃测量站的一种桦树。该研究信息旨在帮助过敏症专科医生和对植物花粉过敏的人制定预防措施和适当的治疗方法。
