Abstract
Los espacios verdes urbanos pueden afectar negativamente a la
salud de las personas alérgicas al polen. Recientemente se ha
propuesto una fórmula que permite valorar el potencial alergénico
de estos espacios. Tras inventariar y medir los elementos vegetales
presentes en los parques, jardines y calles del barrio de Santa
María de Gracia (Murcia, SE España) se han calculado los índices
de alergenicidad (IUGZA) potenciales y reales para el conjunto del
barrio y para sus espacios verdes más importantes. El conjunto del
barrio tiene un índice de alergenicidad potencial de 0,15, con espacios
que llegan a 0,25 y otros que apenas superan el 0,05. Siendo
0,3 el valor considerado como umbral suficiente para provocar
alergia, puede afirmarse que el barrio es un espacio seguro de
bajo riesgo desde el punto de vista de la alergia al polen.
Abstract: Allergenic potential of urban green zones of the Santa María de Gracia neighborhood (Murcia, SE Spain) Urban green zones can negatively affect pollen allergy sufferers. A new formula has been recently proposed to estimate the potential allergenicity of urban green zones. After identify and measure the vegetal elements present in the parks, gardens and streets of Santa María de Gracia neighborhood (Murcia, SE Spain), real and potential allergenicity indexes (IUGZA) were calculated. Obtained allergenicity indexes (IUGZA) range from 0.05 to 0.25, with a mean of 0.15 for the whole neighborhood. Being 0.30 a threshold value enough to cause allergy symptoms in the population can be concluded that the neighbourhood and some of their main parks and streets are safe places for pollinosis sufferers and risk of suffering allergies is low or very low.
