Tortona sits on the Piedmont plain near the Ligurian Apennines, in the Piemonte region; olive and cypress are the leading tree pollen sources locally, and grass adds to totals from local farmland and green spaces through spring. The surrounding Piemonte countryside shapes how exposure varies across the built-up and open parts of the area, with noticeably calmer conditions once the main olive and cypress peak has passed.

Does pollen in Tortona 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 Tortona 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 Tortona, 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.
