Abstract		The pollen monitoring for the allergological purposes has been performed on two locations in Slovenia: in Ljubljana in central Slovenia and in Koper at the Adriatic seaside. The highest average daily pollen concentration was reached during the first seven days of April (Figure 6.1.). The highest counts were observed on April 7: 1900 pollen grains/m3 in Ljubljana and 1560 pollen grains/m3 in Koper (Figure 6.1.). The average daily pollen concentration of the most important of the most important allergic plants is shown in the graphs as follows: birch, horn beam, oak (Figure 6.2.), ash, plane tree, maple (Figure 6.3.), beech and cypress family (Figure 6.4.). In Slovenia the birch pollen is one of the most important from the allergological point of view. The peak count in Ljubljana was registered on 6 April, and the pollen remained all April in the air. In koper we registered a few birch pollen grains. The warm weather at the beginning of April accelerated the start of the pollen season of the oak, plane tree, beech, pelitory and pine which pollen appeared in the air after this warm period. The hornbeam pollen counts were exceedingly high this year. In Ljubljana the peak concentration was 1171 pollen grains/m3 in comparison with 250 grains/m3 in 1998 (see Mesečni bilten no. 5 1998). Insignificant amount of the pelitory and grass was observed in the air in Koper. On both locations the willow pollen was in the air all month round, the concentration didn't exceed 30 pollen grains/m3.
