Local Environmental Conditions
In Maarssen, tree pollen comes chiefly from oak, birch, and linden planted through parks and streets, and the split between built-up and green areas makes a real difference to exposure. As a riverside estate village, Maarssen also picks up grass and tree pollen from the Vecht river and the surrounding Utrecht farmland.
Pollen exposure in Maarssen gets underway in January courtesy of hazel and alder, climbs to a birch high point around April, and lasts until August. Through April and May, oak and ash add to the load, with grass then leading through June and into July. How pollen settles around Maarssen owes something to the Vecht river, with the country estates along the Vecht shaping conditions further.

How often is the Maarssen pollen forecast updated?
The Maarssen pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Maarssen 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 Maarssen 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 Maarssen, 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. |
