Abstract (EN): The variation in airborne pollen concentration of the Braga region (Portugal) was studied in springtime, during the flowering of Vitis vinifera. The data set was obtained for two consecutive years (1999 and 2000), using a Cour-type sampler. During this period, thirty-six taxa were observed in a total of 3,200 pollen grains m-3 of air (CPA). The main pollen types observed were Olea, Poaceae and Castanea, representing 74% of the pollen spectrum. The airborne pollen concentration (CPA) was significantly correlated with certain meteorological parameters. Pollen concentration was positively correlated with temperature and wind direction (East and Northeast) and negatively correlated with rainfall and number of rainy days.
