Abstrakt: Pollens of many plants located in public or privategardens may cause pollinosis in predisposedindividuals. There is evidence that the prevalence ofsensitization to ``new'' tree pollens (Betulaceae,Corylaceae, Cupressaceae, Taxodiaceae, and otherfamilies) is increasing in the recent years in Italy.Allergenic plants are often imported from foreigncountries, therefore low-allergenic species must berecognized in order to prevent new pollensensitizations. In this study we suggest a list ofrecommended and not recommended plants for public andprivate green. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
