• Resumen

  • The aerobiological network of Catalonia (Xarxa Aerobiològica de Catalunya, XAC), operating since 1983, adopted the standardized sampling methods accorded at an international level in 1994. At present, the XAC comprises nine stations (Barcelona, Bellaterra, Girona, Tarragona, Lleida, Manresa, Planes de Son, Roquetes-Tortosa and Vielha) distributed throughout the territory. The criteria applied for the selection of the XAC sampling sites were to cover as much territory as possible taking into consideration the population concentrations, the different landscapes and environments with different urbanization degree.
