Abstract :In this study, changes of Artemisia pollen concentration in Zonguldak atmosphere were monitored during 2015. Pollen collected using Hirst pollen and spore trap, and were counted on full area. Then concentration of pollen was expressed as pollen/m3. The concentration was compared with meteorological factors. In 2015, pollen index was 46.6. The peak value was recorded on 9th July with 6.5 pollen/m3. Minimum temperature was found as the most effective meteorological factor (-0.427, pKeywords : Artemisia, Ambrosia, pollen, Zonguldak, Turkey
