A three year study [Elektronische Daten] [Jack Farnham] Summary: Seventy-five percent (50,000 square miles) of New England is covered by forest which each spring produces more total pollen load than other plants combined. To determine the most common tree pollens, rotorod sampling was done throughout the six-state region from April through June from 1986 through 1988. Nine collection sites were used in 1986, ten in 1987, and twelve in 1988. Clinical correlation was determined by reviewing records of 2,067 patients for skin test reactivity to tree pollen. Pollen from thirteen tree species was identified; heaviest pollinators were oak, pine, juniper, birch, hemlock and maple. Most common prick skin test reactions were to birch, oak, beech, maple, ash and willow. Some of the heaviest pollinators did not appear to be antigenically potent. Detailed analysis of data from collecting sites revealed variations in the total pollen load from year to year at the same site. Between sites, there was wide variation in predominant tree pollen species, but a similar weekly trend in total pollen load. Analysis of pollen counts revealed the significant pollinating species, skin tests revealed the intensity of antigenicity and observations of patients revealed clinical effects.
