Abstract

Urban green spaces bring benefits to the population, although they can negatively affect the health of people who suffer pollinosis. The aim of this work is to calculate the IUGZA of the parque del Oeste of Madrid based on floristic composition and other parameters. The index provides a standardized value between 0-1, establishing the threshold from which discomfort is caused in the allergic population at 0.3. The results show an IUGZA of 0.32 being the species that most contribute to increasing the index Platanus hispanica, Pinus pinea, Cedrus deodora and C. atlantica. These species present an anemophilous pollination strategy, prolonged flowering and most with highly allergenic pollen. To this end, to design new green spaces is important an adequate selection of species to minimize this problem.
