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 mugwort (Artemisia) pollen season has probably passed its seasonal peak. Concentrations are expected to gradually decrease over the coming days. However, people who are sensitive to this type of pollen are advised to continue taking precautions until the season has completely ended.

 

In addition, the summer period continues to be characterized by high concentrations of fungal spores, particularly Cladosporium and Alternaria. These fungi can be a significant source of allergens for sensitive individuals. It is therefore recommended to remain vigilant and minimize exposure as much as possible.

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.
