El Prat de Llobregat's coastal parks and the Llobregat delta corridor feature pine, tamarisk, and reed beds as the main pollen sources alongside distinctive delta wetland vegetation, with exposure varying between these areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Catalan delta farmland contribute substantial grass and crop pollen, while sea breezes from the Barcelona coast frequently disperse pollen across the flat delta landscape.

Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Are pollen levels in El Prat de Llobregat based on measurements or forecasts?
