Pollen calendars created for residential areas play a vital role in protecting and treating the sufferers of allergic diseases. In this regard, gravimetric and volumetric pollen traps are placed in the city and town centers. In process of creating the Emirgan Grove’s pollen calendar, the gravimetric method was utilized together with the Durham sampler between March and September 2020. During this seasonal year, a total of 13464 pollen grains were recorded. According to the obtained pollen analysis results, the pollen grains of 44 taxa including 32 arboreal and 12 non-arboreal taxa were determined. Total pollen grains consisted of 90.95 % grains from arboreal plants, 9.05 % grains from non-arboreal plants. The period with the highest amount of pollen was detected as April. The taxon with the highest pollen concentration was Pinus. In terms of pollen concentrations, Pinus was followed by Cupressaceae, Tilia, Abies, Poaceae, Prunus, Morus and Quercus respectively. These genera have allergenic pollen, and therefore knowing their dissemination times are important for allergenic people living in the city. This study has been the first pollen calendar study conducted for groves and parks in Türkiye.
