Brussels
Hazel and alder trees are currently blooming and their allergenic pollen is released in case of dry and sunny weather.
On Thursday, 465 alder and hazel pollen grains/m³ air were measured in Brussels.
Attention: these pollen concentrations are even higher in Genk.
People who are sensitized to this type of pollen should be careful.

Useful information:
Some people sensitized to birch pollen may experience allergy symptoms when hazel and alder pollen concentrations are high because of immune cross-reactivity between these allergens.
