Vegetation Of Chosen Active Waste Landfill Of Communal Waste As A Source Of Pollen Allergens In The Landscape

The plants are perceived like a positive element in landscape. However, many of this plants produce pollen, which cause allergic reaction. The goal of this work is to establish and determine the species composition of plants that are able to sustain themselves in an active landfill and determine the share of allergenic species. The field observation was contucted on active waste landfill in the cadastral area Netcice (Zlin Region, Czech Republic). The evaluation of the vegetation was carried out using the phytosociological method. Of the total found plant species were selected those species that produce pollen that causes allergies. Of the total found plant species were selected those species that produce pollen that causes allergies. A total of 84 plant species were found. Among the plant species growing on the waste landfill and producing allergenic pollen belong: Amaranthus retroflexus, Apera spicaventi, Arrhenatherum elatius, Artemisia vulgaris, Atriplex hortensis, Atriplex patula, Atriplex prostrata, Atriplex sagittata, Avena fatua, Bromus sterilis, Calamagrostis epigejos, Dactylis glomerata, Digitaria sanguinalis, Echinochloa crus-gallii Elytrigia repens, Chenopodium album, Juglans regia, Lolium perenne, Plantago lanceolata, Plantago major, Robinia pseudacacia and Urtica dioica. Pollen of plants can spread to kilometer distances. This can lead to a deterioration in the quality of life of people in the area and to limit their activities in the landscape.
