Pollen monitoring network
Allergen risk in the Principality
In late 2021, the Department of the Environment developed an automatic pollen measurement network with OBERON SCIENCES[1]. The data obtained can be used to calculate an allergy risk index in accordance with the scale opposite.
The main allergen sources are also identified and displayed.
In addition, a forecast of the allergen risk for the following day (D+1) and the day after that (D+2) is made, taking account of the weather forecast.
[1] OBERON SCIENCES is a technology company spun out of CEA and CNRS, a partner in European pollen metrology projects , and a Greentech Innovation accredited company.
