New app AirAllergy

AirAllergy launches its new mobile app! Follow pollen levels in real time, consult daily readings and RMI forecast maps for the coming days.

In brief

The pollen season is coming to an end: the air no longer contains allergenic pollen. Monitoring will resume in January with the start of the hazel and alder season.

In autumn, however, the air can still carry fungal spores, particularly those released by macrofungi. These basidiospores may trigger allergic reactions in sensitised individuals.

Good to know

  • A few useful recommendations: avoid outdoor activities, wear sun glasses, do not dry linen outside, rinse your nose regularly, wash your hair before going to sleep.

  • Typical allergy symptoms such as runny nose, cough or shortness of breath (in case of asthma) can easily be mistaken for a cold, flu or coronavirus infection. However, fever and body aches should be given special attention as they might be caused by viral infection. It is recommended to call your general practitioner in case of doubt.

  • The standardized pollen detection technique allows retrospective measurement of the levels from samples taken the day before. Samples are analyzed manually during the working days by optical microscopy.
