Evaluation of the allergenicity of various types of urban parks in a warm temperate climate zone

This study showed that under a warm temperate climate the potential harmful impacts of parks are determined by the number of birches and oaks and their crown volumes, as well as by the total tree canopy. The volume of turf covered with grass species as well as the number of maple and ash trees and their crown volumes are of minor importance. Unlike the downtown parks, the landscape-like park poses the lowest risk to sensitive people. Research on parks that is focused on allergenic flora and allergenic pollen production should be used in designing new parks and in the revitalization of old parks. (Source: Aerobiologia)
