description Background and aims: Respiratory diseases, such as asthma, rhinitis and allergies, are increasing worldwide, in association with a greater presence of different etiological triggers in the air, from which pollen is one of the most important. These evidences show the importance of monitoring airborne pollen concentrations for preventive or possible control purposes. This paper reports the incidence and prevalence of airborne pollen content as well as the allergenic pollen types present in the air of Sunchales city (Santa Fe, Argentina) during two study periods (August - November 2012, August - December 2013) aiming to present a preliminary pollen monitoring for the city. M&M: The samples were collected with a Burkard trap located 1.3 m above the ground with a suction volume of 0.6 m3 h-1. The entire slide was analyzed with an optical microscope at 400x final magnification. The daily concentration (gr m-3) was determined for the recognized pollen types. Pollen recognition and their allergenicity were determined with specialized literature. Results & Conclusions: Compared to other cities in the country, species richness is high, although the daily concentration for the period analyzed is low. The majority of the captured pollen (about 70%) corresponds to only four pollen types (Cupressaceae, Moraceae, Poaceae and Urticaceae) reported in the literature as allergens.

Introducción y objetivos: Las afecciones respiratorias, como el asma, la rinitis y las alergias, están aumentando en todo el mundo, en asociación a una mayor presencia en el aire de distintos agentes etiológicos desencadenantes, de los cuales, el polen es uno de los más importantes. Estas evidencias muestran la importancia de monitorear sus concentraciones con fines preventivos o de posible control. Este trabajo reporta la incidencia y prevalencia del contenido polínico de la atmósfera y los tipos alergénicos presentes en el aire de la ciudad de Sunchales (Santa Fe, Argentina) durante dos períodos de estudio (agosto – noviembre 2012, agosto – diciembre 2013) con el objetivo de presentar un relevamiento preliminar para la localidad. M&M: Las muestras se colectaron con una trampa Burkard ubicada a 1,3 m sobre el suelo con un volumen de aspiración de 0,6 m3 h-1. Se analizaron con microscopio óptico a 400x, recorriendo la totalidad del preparado. Así se determinó la concentración diaria (gr m-3) para los tipos polínicos reconocidos. El reconocimiento de los mismos y su alergenicidad se determinó mediante bibliografía especializada.  Resultados & Conclusiones: En comparación con otras ciudades del país, el registro es rico en especies, aunque la concentración diaria para el período analizado es baja. La mayoría del polen capturado (cerca de 70%) corresponde a sólo cuatro tipos polínicos (Cupressaceae, Moraceae, Poaceae y Urticaceae) reportados en la bibliografía como alergénicos.
