Pollen monitoring network
Allergen risk in the Principality
In late 2021, the Department of the Environment developed a network of sensors to monitor pollen with RNSA-Oberon [1]. The measurements taken, when correlated with meteorological conditions, enable the allergen risk to be determined 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.
