Abstract

In this work, the winter pollen content of the atmosphere of Malaga is studied for the period 1992-96. 31 pollen types are represented in the pollen spectrum, but only 12 are studied because the rest are reflotating or typically spring pollens, which start their pollination period in early March. Most of the pollen detected corresponds to Cupressaceae, followed by Pinaceae, Urticaceae and Platanus. These are responsible of the high concentrations registered during February and March, while in January the total pollen levels are lower. Other typically winter pollen types, such as Alnus, Ulmus, Populus and Salix, appear in low concentrations, since their originating populations are situated quite far from the sampling site.
