Abstract

For today ambrosia pollen is probably the most important factor of the season allergy in sensitive layers of population and can provoke even the bronchial asthma development. To improve the prophylaxis of allergic diseases, caused by pollen of this plant and to raise the quality of the air-allergenic situation prognostication, it is  necessary not only realize monitoring observations, but also to search for interconnections between the amount of ambrosia pollen and factors of environment, able to change its concentration in a cubic meter of atmospheric air essentially.  The aim of the research was to analyze some features and asymmetry of ambrosia pollen distribution for pollination days for Zaporizhia city. The period 2006 - 2016 was taken into account in the study. The obtained data were compared with the normal distribution. Monitoring observations were carried out using the volumetric trap, which prototype was a Thirst trap, and obtained preparations were studied under a microscope, the recalculation of the amount of ambrosia pollen in a cubic meter of atmospheric air was realized and the statistic analysis of the obtained results was done using «STATISTICA® program for Windows 6.0». It was established, that the distribution of ambrosia pollen in atmospheric air of Zaporizhia city for blossoming days corresponds to the normal level, and the inessential asymmetry may be caused by the effect of exogenic factors, for example, meteorological conditions. So, for constructing the more precise prognosis of air-allergenic situation, caused by ambrosia pollen, it is expedient to take into account the influence of meteorological factors on pollination
