Most tree pollen in Alingsås traces back to beech, birch, and oak stands in parks rather than the built-up centre. Because open farmland sits close to the Säveån river and its lakes, grass and crop pollen move freely across the area. Seasonal exposure in Alingsås therefore depends heavily on how close residents are to parks versus the denser city core.

Does pollen in Alingsås 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 Alingsås 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 Alingsås, 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.
