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 grass pollen season is in full swing, with concentrations frequently exceeding the critical threshold of 50 grains/m³. People allergic to this type of pollen should be especially cautious: symptoms can be severe and persistent. Pollen levels will generally remain very high in the coming weeks, especially during dry and sunny weather.

Summer weather conditions are favorable to the development of certain allergenic molds. Concentrations of spores from the genus Cladosporium are currently very high. This spore type is one of the most common outdoor allergens in summer, and can cause respiratory symptoms in sensitized people.

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.
