The information contained in the pollen calendar above
is an average of the major pollens present over the last number of years,
which have been collected from 200 pollen stations all over Europe
[ ] . The tree data is based
on , ,
, ,
,
and the family ( Cupressaceae ),
while the weed data comes from observations of ,
,
and .
pollen is the most important allergen in Europe. As the cross-reactivity
is extremely high amongst nearly all grasses, for the grass-pollen sensitive
patient it makes no difference, which grass pollen she/he inhales. Only
the pollen of cultivated
has a higher allergenicity than the pollen of wild grasses. In fact, the
high meadow grasses like or rye cause the majority of symptoms. [ ]
This data is included in order to give an idea of the main pollen types
and the periods within which they are present in Europe. As Europe is
vast and contains many different climatic zones, the types of pollens
present and during which periods, will differ depending on the country/region.
Thus, we include more specific information for some of the main countries
in Europe, which we intend to futher develope over time. Links to information
sources for each country included are provided and it is recommended that
you contact these information sources if you require additional information
on pollen types and pollination periods in that country.
