Autumnal impressions from the course of the cancer research run
Pollen forecast for the time of the cancer research run
Fungal spores are still in the air, otherwise a green light for pollen allergy sufferers!
Autumn has arrived and you can now see this also in the air samples. The air will be allergy-friendly, as pollen concentrations were already showing a strong downward trend in the last weeks. Pollen is only sporadically in the air (e.g mugwort or ragweed). The weeds are fading and long-distance transport of pollen now hardly plays a role. In addition, the weather is decreasing the pollen concentratins as well with significantly lower temperatures than in recent weeks.
The pollination period of the weeds is almost over. There are weed areas along the running course. However, the flower of mugwort has already faded everywhere.
Fungal spores are most commonly found in the air samples. These are mainly spores of Alternaria, Epicoccum and Cladosporium. In the fall, spore concentrations typically remain relevant for a longer time.
Allergic symptoms can - depending on the type of reaction - either disappear suddenly or last longer into the autumn season.
Our tip: Drink enough water to moisten the mucous membranes.
The team of the Pollen Service Vienna at MedUni Vienna recommends having the medication relevant to you ready and wish you a pleasant and successful run!
