Abstract
There is only one report available on the aerobiology of Alexandria which was published over 28 years ago by Saad (1958). Since that time, the vegetation and cultivation in the city of Alexandria and its surroundings have changed, mainly due to industrialisation and urbanization after clearing of vegetation. Besides, the methods of trapping atmospheric pollen have been improved during the last few decades.
