Local Environmental Conditions
Around 57% of the area near this location in Saguenay is built-up land, with a good deal of woodland. With the Saguenay River nearby, riverside trees such as poplar along its banks contribute to the local mix. Allergenic trees nearby include maple, birch and poplar. Locally, planted trees and mown lawns are the main sources in the built-up parts.
Maple, birch and poplar lead the season in mid-spring, bringing the main tree pollen peak. Grasses take over in early summer and keep pollen in the air into late summer. In warm, humid weather through summer, mold spores add to the mix, especially after rain. By late fall, as temperatures fall to a few degrees below freezing, pollen levels are low again.

How often is the Saguenay pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Saguenay 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 Saguenay 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 Saguenay, 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. |
