Pollen Count & Forecast for La Paz
About Pollen in La Paz
La Paz’s dry winter season (May-August) is dominated by Eucalyptus and Pine pollen; Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) is dense in the Pura Pura Forest and Sopocachi hillsides; Pine (Pinus) contributes counts near the Bosque de Bologna. Summer (November-March) sees high Grass (Poaceae) pollen levels; these originate from the Choqueyapu River banks and the Valle de la Luna.
The city’s steep canyon topography and thin mountain air concentrate airborne particles; low humidity keeps pollen suspended longer. High rainfall in summer increases Mould (Aspergillus, Penicillium) counts; spores originate from damp areas in the lower Zona Sur and organic material in Cotapata National Park.
