Pollen and Allergy Index guide
The pollen index is calculated based on the total pollen concentration, taking into account the concentration of different pollen types, their allergenicity, and potential impact on allergic individuals. Allergy risk is categorized into five levels:
Very low
Not likely to trigger an allergic reaction
Low
Prone to mild allergies; appropriate precautions and medication are recommended
Moderate
Prone to allergies; increased precautions and medication are recommended
High
Prone to allergies; increased precautions and medication are recommended
Very high
Extremely likely to trigger allergies; limit outdoor activities and continue medication.
The Allergy Index takes into account meteorological factors and the impact of environmental factors on the human body, including season, weather patterns, wind speed, temperature, humidity, pollen concentration, and environmental pollution. It provides weather-based information to the public regarding their allergy risk. The index is divided into five levels, with higher levels indicating a greater likelihood of allergy triggering weather conditions.
Level 1: Very low
Level 2: Low
Level 3: Moderate
Level 4: High
Level 5: Very high
