About Pollen in Poznań

Poznań’s spring allergy season (March-May) is dominated by Birch and Alder pollen; Birch (Betula) common in Cytadela Park and Sołacki Park; Alder (Alnus) widespread along the Warta River banks. Oak (Quercus) contributes significantly from the Marcelin Forest. Summer (June-August) sees high Grass (Poaceae) pollen levels, originating from meadows near Lake Malta and the Dębina forest park. Mugwort (Artemisia) and Plantain (Plantago) are common in urban vacant lots.

The city’s location in the Warta valley can trap pollen, leading to localised high concentrations. Autumn and winter see elevated Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts, from damp leaf litter in Wilson Park and the Morasko Meteorite Reserve.
