Current pollen report for Tyrol
July 12th 2024
Grass pollen loads down, moderate burden persists at high altitudes!
Grass pollen. We are observing a general decrease in the pollen load from grasses. The allergenic burden is currently low to moderate in the region. The highest burdens are recorded near meadows and at higher altitudes (e.g. Obergurgl). Pollen grains from plantain and dock/sorrel are also present in the air. Plantain pollen has moderate allergenicity, often related to grass pollen's sensibility. Dock/sorrel pollen has a low allergenicity that is often overlaid by a grass pollen allergy.
Green alder. The pollen season for green alder is coming to an end. The allergenic burden is now generally low.
Sweet chestnut. We are registering low concentrations of sweet chestnut pollen. Sweet chestnut pollen can affect locally birch pollen allergy sufferers via cross-reactions.
Other pollen types. We are also observing pollen from pine, cypress family, lime, stinging nettle and sedges, among others, which are of low allergological significance.
Fungal spores. The concentration of fungal spores is moderate. Fungal spores can cause some allergic reactions.
Weather conditions. It is important to note that rainfall reduces the pollen concentration in the air, providing relief for individuals suffering from pollen allergies.
