ABSTRACT
An all year survey of atmospheric pollens and molds was made in Nakornnayok Province, Thailand by Durham’s standard gravity method from 1st September 1988 to 31st August 1988. Most aeroallergens found were mold spores, with Cladaosporium (Hormodendrum) on top of the first, and Alternaria, Curvularia, Helminthosporium, Leptosporium, Rust, Tetraploa, Ascospore, Smut, Fusarium, Stemphylium were found to be less common in that order. Grass pollens were found 11 percent of total pollen count. Pine pollens were found in winter and weed pollens were found very low count. Unidenfiable pollens were found in high count with the peak between October to March.
ABSTRACT
An all year round survey of atmospheric pollens and molds was made in Hat Yai, Songkla Province in the south of Thailand by Durham’s standard gravity method from 1st January 1984 to 31st December 1984. Most aeroallergens found were mold spores, with Cladosporium (Hormodendrum) on top of the list, and Helminthosporium, Alternaria, Ascospore, Fusarium, Curvalaria, Torula, Rust, Stemphylium Smut, Tetraploa, and Ledtosporium were found to be less common in that order. Grass pollens were found in low counts, as well as weed pollens, which most of them belong to the group of Chenopod-Amaranthus. Unidentifiable pollens were found in high counts, and were probably the pollens of para rubber, cashew, corn, oil palm or wattle. The atmospheric pollens and mold spores were found throughout the year with highest peak in summer and lowest in November and December when there was heavy rain.
