How to connect?

The tree cover in Voorburg leans heavily on oak, birch, and linden for pollen production, and the split between built-up and green areas makes a real difference to exposure. the Vliet canal and the wider Zuid-Holland agricultural land also feed grass and tree pollen into the area, consistent with Voorburg being a leafy canal-side suburb.

Does pollen in Voorburg 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 Voorburg 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 Voorburg, 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.
