Tetrade analyses of Calluna vulgaris from herbarium specimens showed significant differences in the frequency of aborted pollen tetrads over the last 100 years within various parts of Slovakia. Specifically, we observed changes in the dynamics of pollution peaking in the year 1965 in heavily polluted industrial area of an aluminium factory in Ziar nad Hronom.
