The air spora of two sites on the east coast of Britain and one on the west coast were compared with each other and with the regular sampling site in Derby by the simultaneous operation of volumetric spore traps. Concentrations of airborne spores and pollen were found to be usually less at the coastal sites than in Derby. The effect of wind direction was shown to be important at coastal sites because daily counts often showed rises and falls corresponding to off- and on-shore winds respectively. Counts at the west coast site were nearly always lower than those on the east. These findings, together with the prevalence of westerly winds over Britain and the different land use in the east and west, suggest that fewer airborne allergens may be encountered on the west coast.
通过容积式孢子捕捉器的同步运行，对英国东海岸的两个地点和西海岸的一个地点的空气孢子进行了相互比较，并与德比郡的常规采样地点进行了比较。结果发现，沿海地区空气中孢子和花粉的浓度通常低于德比郡。风向对沿海地区的影响很重要，因为每日计数常常分别显示出与离岸风和向岸风相对应的增减情况。西海岸采样点的计数几乎总是低于东海岸采样点的计数。这些发现，再加上英国盛行西风以及东西部土地利用情况不同，表明在西海岸可能遇到的空气传播过敏原较少。
