Brasschaat's tree pollen is dominated by oak and hornbeam, a pattern typical of Antwerpen and reinforced by its position on the sandy Campine plain north of Antwerp; grass and late-season herbs adds further exposure from nearby farmland through the warmer months. Parks and leafier streets tend to register higher counts than the built-up core.

How often is the Brasschaat pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Brasschaat 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 Brasschaat 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 Brasschaat, 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.
