Journal Article
Comparison of airborne pollen and total stellate hair counts for six years between two sites in Sapporo
2025
Overview
Some types of airborne pollen can cause pollinosis, and several studies have been conducted on the fluctuation and prediction of their dispersal amount. In Sapporo,
Betula
pollen is the main cause of hay fever, as in Europe and North America, and various types of pollen other than
Betula
pollen are dispersed from early spring to autumn. These pollen grains vary in size and shape, and the distribution of their sources is also diverse. In this study, in order to obtain knowledge about the localized pollen dispersion trends within the same city, airborne pollen was comprehensively observed for six years at two sites, one in the center of Sapporo and the other about 10 km away near the mountain area. In addition, stellate hairs, which are airborne substances derived from plants other than pollen, were also observed.
Cryptomeria
pollen showed the highest correlation between the two sites among all 17 pollen groups.
Betula
pollen includes three species (
B. platyphylla
,
B. maximowicziana
and
B. ermanii
) that differ in dispersal time, size and distribution of source plants, but it showed a high correlation between the two sites. Although it was revealed that the trends differed depending on the pollen, it is interesting that large pine pollen with air sacs showed high correlation only in the daily fluctuations. We believe that it is useful information that a statistically high correlation was shown between the two locations in both daily and annual fluctuations of
Cryptomeria
and
Betula
pollens, which are involved in pollinosis in Japan.
