Local Environmental Conditions
Viladecáns's coastal parks and the Llobregat delta corridor feature pine, tamarisk, and introduced trees as the main pollen sources, with exposure varying between the coastal delta areas and the more built-up suburban city centre. Surrounding Catalan Baix Llobregat farmland contribute substantial grass and crop pollen, while sea breezes from the Barcelona coast frequently disperse pollen across the flat delta landscape.
Viladecáns's pollen season opens in January with pine and olive before grass from surrounding Catalan Baix Llobregat farmland peaks through April and May. Sea breezes from the Barcelona coast frequently disperse pollen across the flat Llobregat delta landscape, while the sub-Mediterranean climate concentrates pollen during spring with fewer rainfall interruptions than in Atlantic-facing Spanish cities.

Does pollen in Viladecáns 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 Viladecáns 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 Viladecáns, 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.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
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. |
