Spanish; Castilian. En el presente estudio se reconoció la diversidad polínica en el aire del área metropolitana de Monterrey (AMM), durante octubre 2004 a marzo del 2005. Se utilizaron 2 captadores volumétricos de polen (7 day recording volumetric spore trap, Burkard Manufacturing Co., Rickmansworth, Hersts., UK), situados en Ciudad Universitaria y La Florida. Se contabilizó un total de 7 687 granos correspondientes a 43 taxa para Ciudad Universitaria, mientras que para La Florida se registraron 12 354 granos correspondientes a 57 taxa. Los 10 taxa que presentaron la mayor concentración polínica durante el periodo de estudio fueron Cupressaceae/Taxodiaceae, Fraxinus sp., Quercus sp., Poaceae, Parietaria sp., Ambrosia sp., Populus sp., Salix sp., Pinus sp. y Celtis sp.
