Local Environmental Conditions
The center of Adelaide Airport is surrounded mainly by open grassland, with a good deal of built-up land. Of the allergenic trees nearby, olive matters most, while ash also contributes. Grasses also feature strongly, alongside pigweed and plantain among the weeds. In the built-up parts of the area, street trees, gardens and park lawns add to the local mix.
Olive and ash lead the season in late spring, as temperatures climb to around 15°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in late spring and keep pollen in the air into early fall. The season closes with pigweed and plantain from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in winter, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

Does pollen in Adelaide Airport come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Adelaide Airport based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Adelaide Airport, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
