Why are Exotic Tree Pollen being Recorded at Elevated Levels in 2018 Compared to 2017 in Canberra?
This spring the levels of exotic tree pollen such as Birch and Poplar trees have recorded very high concentrations in the Canberra air this year - why is this so?
Why are the pollen counts LOW this year in Canberra?
So why have the pollen counts been so LOW for the spring of 2017 in Canberra? This is a question that I often hear this year and it's a good one.
The Department of Archaeology and Natural History at the Australian National University in Canberra and the Health Protection Service, ACT Health, offer a service that forecasts the level of pollen in the air. The forecast alerts those who suffer from hay fever and seasonal asthma of the likelihood of being exposed to high levels of grass pollen, enabling sufferers to take preventative measures in danger periods.
