title: Pollen calendar of Seville and its relation to allergies.
abstract: We have carried out a study on the annual and weekly variation of airborne pollen in the air of Seville (Andalusia, Southern Spain) during 3 consecutive years using two Cour's collectors. We provide the pollen calendar of this city, which shows the annual distribution of the most important pollen types. Our results led us to check the validity of the pollen extracts usually used at the hospitals of the city to diagnose pollinosis.
