“…There are many articles on the influence of meteorological factors on the presence of spores in the air, taking into account daily values of variables and dependences between particular spore types and individual meteorological variables. Studies on the most allergenic spores of Cladosporium , Alternaria , Drechslera type, Ganoderma and Epicoccum revealed significant, positive correlation between daily mean spore concentration and daily mean air temperature (e.g., Troutt and Levetin 2001 ; Oliveira et al 2009 ; Sadyś et al 2015 , 2016 ; Ianovici 2016 ; Ščevková et al 2016 ). Generally, most airborne fungi are moderately temperature dependent—they tolerate neither too low nor too high temperature (Ingold 1971 ).…”

Air sampling was conducted in Szczecin (Poland) throughout April–September 2013. The final data set included 177 daily and 4248 hourly samples. The total of 21 types of spores, which occurred in a number >10 in the season, were taken into account. The following meteorological parameters were analyzed: air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation and wind speed. Effects of individual weather parameters on hourly and daily concentrations of different fungal spore types were examined using Spearman’s rank association test, whereas effects of complex of meteorological factors on hourly and daily compositions of spore were assessed using detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) and redundancy analysis (RDA). Airborne fungal spore distribution patterns in relation to meteorological variables were determined by RDA, after DCA results detected a linear structure of the spore data. The RDA results obtained indicated that all the applied variables accounted for 20 and 22% of the total variance in the hourly and daily spore data, respectively. The results of stepwise forward selection of variables revealed all included hourly and daily meteorological variables were statistically significant. The largest amount of the total variance in the spore composition was explained by the air temperature in both cases (16%). Multivariate ordination did not show large differences between the hourly and daily relationships (with exception of wind speed impact), while the differences between simple hourly and daily correlations were more clear. Correlations between daily values of variables were in most cases higher than between hourly values of variables.

“…Ščevková et al [24] described annual trends for three spore taxa: Alternaria, Epicoccum, and Stemphylium. Ianovici [25] analyzed concentrations of five spore types: Cladosporium, Alternaria, Epicoccum, Pithomyces, and Torula. In both publications, the authors put special emphasis on climate change and concluded that temperature increase affects the concentration levels of airborne spores.…”

A calendar of fungal spore seasons for Szczecin during 2013 was established using a 7-day volumetric Lanzoni trap. Thirty-five spore taxa were identified. The dominant spore types detected were Cladosporium (66%), Didymella (29%), Alternaria (1.67%), and Leptosphaeria type (1.21%). The spores were present throughout the study year. However, there was a wide daily fluctuation in the concentration values with a tendency towards an increase during the summer months. Seasonally, the spore levels of Cladosporium, Alternaria, and Leptosphaeria type peaked in summer (June–September), while those of Didymella mainly in July. Most of the other spore types had the highest concentrations in summer but occurred in the air from spring to late fall.

“…Ці дані вимірювались щодня протягом 241 дня -цей часовий відрізок нанесено на осі абсцис всіх графіків. Традиційні підходи до аналізу даних аеробіологічного моніторингу вмісту спор у повітрі, зазвичай використовують припущення про стаціонарність цих процесів та здійснюють побудову регресійних моделей стандартними методами на основі автокореліційних функцій та методів часових стаціонарних рядів [1]- [3], але це не завжди є виправданим. Доведемо це на прикладі і запропонуємо шлях для усунення цієї проблеми.…”
