AirAllergy launches its new mobile app! Follow pollen levels in real time, consult daily readings and RMI forecast maps for the coming days.
The pollen season of alder and hazel is currently ongoing. The daily concentrations can quickly rise in warm and dry weather conditions. People who are allergic to these pollens should take all necessary precautions during this high risk period.
Other trees have also begun to bloom, including poplars, elms and cupressaceae.
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.
