on the Internet, through a new way of subscribing to the Palinocam network, users can choose how to receive the information.


– you can choose to obtain alerts via SMS messages or email

-aerobiológica information, developments and daily pollen forecast is available here

Madrid, 2011-April the community of Madrid, through the Ministry of health, it has activated its information system daily levels of pollen that occur in the atmosphere, through the network Palinológica of the community of Madrid (Red Palinocam), which includes the delivery of mobile (SMS) messages from high levels, messages via email alerts, in addition to the daily update of information on the levels, evolution and prediction on the Internet and automated telephone information service. From January 2011 subscription to the information system can be done by Internet.

The SMS is sent when the daily pollen forecast exceeds levels banana and olive, and average levels of grasses, which are the three most important pollen types in spring from the point of view of public health.

Health Department with the information system which is a recognized validity tool for public health, keeps informed health professionals, people with allergies, scientific societies, the media and the general population, so they know pollen types more common in every moment, its concentration in the ambient air, variation and evolution in time and prediction on a daily basis.

With the data received are bulletins daily prediction of banana, grass and olive tree pollen levels. Daily prediction methodology is performed with the historical series of data from pollen and meteorological variables provided daily by the Territorial delegation of Madrid of the State Meteorological Agency. The prediction of pollen is in the form of four levels, which serve no clinical criteria, but statistical criteria of the own range of pollen in our region.

Spring storms increase levels of pollen pollen levels dependent on weather conditions. The rain on an ongoing basis in spring “ lava ” atmosphere and reduces the concentration of pollen, but if it is intense, brief time and high electrical content, you can increase the concentration of grains of pollen and allergens in local and timely way. Wind mobilizes and is the pollen and facilitates penetration by airway. In general terms is called pollination period at the time that the pollen (set of tiny grains contained in the anthers of flowers) remains in the air.

Pollen and spring polinosis

At the present time, spring begins flowering of the Paseo bananas, pollen type Platanus, usually occurs suddenly, reaching high concentrations, and the flowering period is very short, approximately fifteen to twenty days.

The arresters volumetric pollen continuously take a sample of the air on a sticky surface, which is collected every day by hand and taken to the laboratory, where is analyzed to the optical microscope by specialized personnel. Center Coordinator for the environmental health service receives data from the sample after its reading, the following day, drawing up relevant information, newsletters and the prediction.

Tips for allergic

The allergic person should know the pollen types to allergic, as well as periods of pollination of plants that produce, their levels and evolution over time, as well as the prediction of pollen types.

You must also follow the medication according to the guidelines prescribed by the doctor. Antihistamine drugs may produce drowsiness and decrease of attention, which must be taken into account when driving and other activities that require concentration, so it is recommendable to travel by car with closed Windows (avoiding, if possible, travel by motorcycle or bicycle).

Keep in mind that atmospheric pollen concentrations are higher in the early hours of the morning and last evening, promptly increase sharply the days of strong winds and high content of electric Spring storms, so avoid pollen contact with the mucous membranes of the mouthnose and eyes, using sunglasses and masks.

In homes are advised to use the vacuum cleaner and wet our microfibre cloths to clean the dust, to prevent the spread of mites. Using pollen filters in air conditioning of the dwellings.
