The currentcalendar of plant pollen , taking into account the phenological seasons of the year for individual regions of Poland, is established by the Environmental Allergen Research Center. Below we present the pollen periods of the most allergenic plants, averaged for the whole of Poland.

Pollen calendar - January

Allergy sufferers need to be alert at the beginning of the calendar year. In the third decade of January, hazel begins to dust, which is a tree whose fruits are hazelnuts. However, it may happen that with a fairly high air temperature, the hazel begins to dust earlier - even in the first week of January. The hazel pollen period lasts until the breakthroughMarch and April.

According to the pollen calendar, only hazel should be pollinated in January. However, due to the fact that winters in our country have become slightly warmer in recent years, the pollen calendar may be slightly modified. Therefore, there is a probability that, in addition to hazel, in January may also start pollinating alder, the pollen season of which theoretically starts in February.

Pollen calendar - February

At the beginning of February, the alder begins to dust. Alder pollen becomes a nuisance especially in the second half of February. Hazel, whose pollen concentration in the air increases significantly (especially in the middle of the month), is also pollinated.

Pollen calendar - March

In March, in addition to alder and hazel, they start to dust other plants. We are talking about poplar, willow and yew trees. The poplar may start to dust as early as February, but the most intense pollen season occurs in the third decade of March. At this time, yew dust also begins (from 10 to 30 days).

Pollen calendar - April

In April, alder, willow and poplar pollen still lasts. They are also joined by birch, ash and oak.

Pollen calendar - May

May is characterized by the start of pollination of the grasses. The plantain also begins to dust, the pollen season of which lasts until mid-September. In May, pine, sorrel and nettle pollen also make the lives of allergy sufferers unpleasant. Until the end of May, it dusts the oak. In the last decade of May, the concentration of spores of the fungus Cladosporium increases rapidly and is very high throughout June until the end of September.

Pollen calendar - June

June is a particularly troublesome month for people allergic to grass and nettle pollen - this is the apogee of pollen in these plants. Plantain and sorrel are also dusting all the time. They are joined by quinoa, but the concentration of pollen of this plant in the air is not so high, and it sometimes happens that in some regions of Poland it is almost zero.

Pollen calendar - July

July is also the month of pollen nettles, grasses, plantain and sorrel as well as the harmful effects of fungi on allergy sufferers. In the second decade of July, mugwort also begins to dust. July is the only month of the year in which linden dust.

Pollen calendar - August

In August, mugwort pollen peaks. The concentration of pollen from grasses, plantain, quinoa, sorrel, nettle, fungi of the genus Cladosporium and Alternaria and plantain in the air is still recorded. Ambrosia also begins to dust.

Pollen calendar - September

In September, or actually in the middle of the month, people who are allergic to grass, mugwort and spores of the genus Alternaria can breathe a sigh of relief. Stillhowever, the spores of microscopic fungi of the genus Cladosporium will dust. The period of ambrosia, plantain and quinoa pollen ends also in September.

Pollen calendar - October

Spores of microscopic fungi of the genus Cladosporium are persistent in autumn. The cause of allergic rhinitis can also be spores of the so-called fungi. indoor, incl. those of the genus Aspergillus and Penicillium. As for plants, ambrosia is constantly dusty in October.

Pollen calendar - November

In November, the weather is still conducive to dusting the spores of microscopic fungi. It is also starting to become a more troublesome allergy to dust mites.
