How to connect?

Bad Sassendorf's green spaces are dominated by hornbeam, birch, and beech for most of the local tree pollen, with noticeably different exposure between parks and the built-up core. Westphalian farmland and field-edge tree lines on the town's outskirts add to local tree and grass pollen, while the patchwork of fields and copses gives modest pollen variability.

Does pollen in Bad Sassendorf 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 Bad Sassendorf 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 Bad Sassendorf, 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.
