A chamber to expose subjects to birch pollen has been installed at the Allergy Center, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Göteborg, Sweden.

In this paper, results from per formance tests of the chamber and its ventilation system are presented. Further, some results are given from ini tial tests with pollen.

Key Words: Exposure chamber • Provocation tests • Allergy • Birch pollen • Optical counter
