Peak of the birch pollen season: stay informed!

Birch pollen. We are currently observing high concentrations of birch p ollen throughout the region - with the exception of higher altitudes above 1500 meters. The allergenic load is considerable and can even reach very high levels in certain areas. This trend is expected to continue over the Easter weekend. In addition, moderate amounts of pollen from hornbeam and hop hornbeam are measured - trees that are often found in parks and gardens. Due to cross-reactions with birch pollen, these species can also trigger symptoms and increase discomfort in people with birch pollen allergies. Oak pollen concentrations are also increasing. Oak pollen can also cause cross-reactions in birch pollen allergy sufferers.
Only the rainy spells forecast for the coming week could provide temporary relief for those affected.

Ash pollen. We continue to record a moderate allergenic load of ash p ollen throughout the region. Ash pollen allergy sufferers should also take appropriate precautions, as moderate levels are expected to persist over the next few days.

Sycamore pollen. Pollen levels from plane trees are increasing and reaching moderate to high levels in certain areas - especially along avenues with plane trees.

Grass pollen. We are registering the first grass pollen in the air. Concentrations are still low at the moment. We will keep you up to date on further developments.

Other types of pollen. Larch, walnut, cypress and willow are also currently releasing pollen - but with less allergenic significance.

Stay informed and take precautions. Regular information about the pollen count in your region is a key element in effectively combating allergies. Keep an eye on our latest updates and take the necessary measures to keep symptoms to a minimum and still be able to enjoy the outdoors.
