Although lime trees have numerous benefits, they can pose a threat to allergy sufferers during the flowering period, as their pollen exhibits allergenic properties. This paper presents the results of 3 years of aerobiological research (2020-2022) carried out with the volumetric method in Lublin and Szczecin. A comparison of the pollen seasons in both cities revealed substantially higher concentrations of lime pollen in the air of Lublin than of Szczecin. In the individual years of the study, the maximum pollen concentrations were approximately 3-fold higher, and the annual pollen sum was about 2-3 times higher in Lublin than in Szczecin. Considerably higher lime pollen concentrations were recorded in both cities in 2020 than in the other years, which was probably associated with the 1.7-2.5 °C increase in the average temperature in April compared to the other two years. The maximum lime pollen concentrations were recorded during the last ten days of June or at the beginning of July in both Lublin and Szczecin. This period was associated with the greatest risk of pollen allergy development in sensitive subjects. The increased production of lime pollen in 2020 and in 2018-2019 with the increase in the mean temperature in April, reported in our previous study, may indicate a response of lime trees to the global warming phenomenon. Cumulative temperatures calculated for may serve as a basis for forecasting the beginning of the pollen season.
尽管菩提树有诸多益处，但在花期时它们可能会对过敏患者构成威胁，因为其花粉具有致敏特性。本文介绍了在卢布林和什切青采用容积法进行的为期3年（2020 - 2022年）的空气生物学研究结果。对两个城市花粉季节的比较显示，卢布林空气中菩提树花粉的浓度显著高于什切青。在研究的各年份中，卢布林的最大花粉浓度大约高3倍，年花粉总量约高2 - 3倍。2020年两个城市记录到的菩提树花粉浓度均明显高于其他年份，这可能与4月平均气温比其他两年升高1.7 - 2.5摄氏度有关。卢布林和什切青的最大菩提树花粉浓度均在6月的最后十天或7月初记录到。这一时期是敏感人群花粉过敏发病风险最高的时期。我们之前的研究报告称，随着4月平均气温升高，2020年以及2018 - 2019年菩提树花粉产量增加，这可能表明菩提树对全球变暖现象的一种反应。计算得出的 累积温度可作为预测花粉季节开始的依据。
