Abstract		The pollen of the significant allergenic plants in the atmosphere of Ljubljana and its surroundings has been studied from January 1st to September 15th, 1996 together with its impact on the development of sensitization in patients with pollinosis. The pollen of the following plants was found to be present in the atmosphere in high concentrations: hazel, alder, birch, grass, mugwort and ragweed dependent upon the temperature and atmospheric precipitations. By skin allergen tests, performed in patients with hay fever, we found the sensitization for grass polen to be prevailing, followed by birch pollen, alder, hazel and weed (mugwort and ragweed).
