Brussels
Grasses are in full bloom.
57 grass pollen grains per m³ of air were collected in Brussels on Monday.
Many grass species are currently in bloom and their pollen may induce the typical hayfever symptoms. Hayfever sufferers should remain cautious and follow the treatment prescribed by their doctor.
Lime trees are also in bloom. Allergy symptoms can occur in people sensitized to this pollen type and living near these trees.
