What is dusting in July?In July, dust, incl. nettle, grasses, quinoa and linden. Their pollen belongs to the so-called Inhaled allergens, which mainly affect the respiratory system, are less likely to cause skin symptoms.

In July, the he alth of allergy sufferers is also worsened by the spores of microscopic fungi, which remain in the air until September.

Hot weather and the associated dry weather favor plant pollen formation, therefore July is one of the most difficult periods for plants allergic to pollen.

Therefore, allergy sufferers who go on vacation in July should check where and in what concentration specific plants are dusted in order to choose a place to rest.

It should also be remembered that the intensity of pollination of individual plants in various regions of Poland depends, among others, on from changing weather conditions and it decreases due to e.g. rainfall, therefore, apart from the pollen calendar, it is also worth following the weather forecast.

What dusts in July?

Spores of microscopic (mold) fungi

High air temperature and high soil moisture are factors favoring the development of spores of microscopic fungi of the genusCladosporiumandAlternaria , characterized by a strong allergic effect .

For this reason, the concentration of mold spores in the atmosphere is much higher than that of pollen. Therefore, throughout July in all regions of the country, spores of mold fungi may cause allergic reactions.

According to research, a concentration of 3000 spores per m3of air causes symptoms in all allergic people.

Grasses

Grass pollen is the most common cause of seasonal allergic ailments in Poland. Grass pollen appears as early as May, and the concentration of these allergens increases gradually so that at the turn of June and July, pollen pollen reaches its peak throughout the country.

Allergy sufferers from the north-eastern and south-western part of Poland should be especially careful with grass pollen, because in these areas the concentration of grass pollen is high during the first two decades of July.

On the other hand, in Mazovia and Pomerania, their concentration is average during the first two decades of July, and the closer to August, the lower their dustiness.

It should be remembered that in parks and meadows there is a two-fold increase in the concentration of these allergens in the air in the morning, from 5 to 8 and between 17 a 19.

Small-leaved lime

Small-leaved linden pollen only in July. Due to the high concentration of its pollen, it will tease allergy sufferers all over Poland throughout the month. Common linden allergic symptoms include hay fever, conjunctivitis and urticaria.

Nettle

Nettle has a long pollen season as it blooms from June to August. It produces huge amounts of pollen, but is rarely allergenic.

In Mazovia and Pomerania, during the first two decades of July, the concentration of nettle pollen is average, and in the last one it is low.

Nettle pollen most bothers allergy sufferers from central Poland, the southern part of the country and those from the north-eastern corner of Poland. In these regions, the concentration of nettle pollen is high throughout most of July.

Mugwort

At the latest, mugwort pollen is among all plants, because its pollen does not appear in the air until the second decade of July.

At that time, the average concentration of pollen is recorded in both the eastern and western parts of the country.

The closer to the end of the month, the higher the concentration of allergens, which is why it is only in the third decade of July and at the beginning of August that pollen bothers allergy sufferers the most. Warning! The highest concentration of mugwort pollen is just above the ground.

Common plantain

Plantain blooms from April to September. Allergy to plantain pollen is often accompanied by hypersensitivity to pollen of other plant species. Throughout July, the concentration of plantain pollen in all regions of Poland is low.

Common Sorrel

Sorrel pollinates the most from July to the end of September, but in the last month of pollen pollen, sorrel is not so dangerous for a person allergic to its allergens.

In twoIn the first decades of July, the average concentration of sorrel pollen in the air in Poland remains the same and gradually decreases with the end of the month.

White quinoa (Lebioda)

Komosa develops from July to August. Hypersensitivity to its pollen rarely causes severe allergic symptoms. In early July, mugwort pollen counts across the country are low. Only in the last decade of the month does it increase.

Good to know:In individual years, the pollen seasons may differ significantly from the long-term averages. Therefore, you should follow current messages for allergy sufferers, which are available, among others, on the website of the Environmental Allergen Research Center.
