Local Environmental Conditions
oak and plane are the dominant tree pollen source around Misterbianco, which sits on Mount Etna's southwestern lower slopes in Sicilia; grass and late-season herbs from nearby farmland and parks builds through spring into early summer. The balance between green space and built-up ground shapes how exposure differs across the town.
Misterbianco follows a pattern typical of Sicilia: olive and plane first, then oak and plane over the following weeks, then grass and late-season herbs into early summer, running the winter-to-summer stretch from January to August overall. Mediterranean summer drought keeps late-season pollen modest here.

Does pollen in Misterbianco 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 Misterbianco 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 Misterbianco, 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.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
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. |
