Summary:A qualitative and quantitative evaluation of pollen fall in the atmosphere of Tavanli (Kuetahya) is presented in this study. A continuous aerobiological survey of the atmosphere of Tavanli was carried out from beginning of January 2003 to end of December 2004 by means of the gravimetric method using Durham apparatus. Weekly pollen grains in per cm super( 2) were calculated. During two years, a total of 17 079 pollen grains/ cm super( 2) which belong to 52 taxa, 25 of total belong to arboreal plants (AP) and 27 of total non-arboreal (NAP) plants and unidentified pollen grains were recorded. 11 630 and 5 449 pollen grains were recorded in the years 2003 and 2004 respectively. Total pollen grains consist of 88.46 % AP, 9.67 % NAP plants and 1.87% unidentified pollen grains. Pinus sp., Cupressaceae/Taxaceae, Quercus sp., Gramineae, Platanus sp., Salix sp. Moraceae and Oleaceae were responsible for the greatest amounts of pollens in the investigated region. 67.48 % of total pollen grains appeared during May.
