PLANTUSÁÐTELJING I FØROYUM í 1982 OG 1983
ymiskt. Tað sæst m.a. av, at tað var tríggjar
ferðir so nógv sáð av leggsýru 1 1983 sum
í 1982. Hetta er vanliga treytað av veðurlagn-
um frammanundan og í blómingartíðini.
Fyri at fylgja gongdini og kanska kunna
siga frammanundan, hvussu eitt summar
kann væntast at verða, er neyðugt at gera
framhaldandi teljingar.

Summary
With a Burkard pollen and spore sampler
placed 20 m above ground on Lands-
sjúkrahúsið, Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, the
content of pollen and spores in the air has
been investigated. The results are shown in
figs. 1-6 and table 1. Extremely low values
have been found compared with other countr-
ies e.g. Denmark. This might partly be due
to the fact that Landssjúkrahúsið is situated
close to the sea, but the pollen production is
probably much lower in the Faroes than in
countries further south. It was found that
on days with high proportions of grass pollen,
patients were affected and showed allergetic
symptoms, even if the number always was in
the class low (O-5/m3) according to Nordic
Medical Standard.
