Information on pollen in the Community of Madrid

We are in full pollination time so it is very important to know the information that administrations make available to citizens. The palynological network of the Community of Madrid provides information on the concentrations of the most allergenic pollen types present in the atmosphere throughout the community.

The information is prepared with the pollen data obtained at sampling points. The coordinating center is responsible for preparing the information in addition to making a short-term prediction of the most relevant pollen types for health. Its objective is to anticipate to the allergic and asthmatic all the available information, in addition to that this information is also valid for the welfare system, the scientific societies and the media.

The web page is a suitable site for information, for this they publish daily and also you can receive information in the email and on the phone with SMS alerts. Be miss an interactive application for smartphones or a more intuitive and simple to use page. Not to mention the area of ​​more information in which I have not found, although there may be, links to the information provided by other autonomous communities in Spain.

He asthma is the disease of the bronchi characterized by the inflammation of the mucosa, the contraction of the smooth muscle of the bronchial tubes and the increase in bronchial secretions that are very thick and sticky. The consequences of allergy in the bronchi cause them to narrow and not allow a clear passage of air into the lungs. That is why dry cough, respiratory noises, chest tightness and respiratory distress appear. Seeing these effects in young children is quite spectacular.

In the Community of Madrid the months of May and June are those with the highest incidence, but since the end of January we have an incidence of allergies by plants and trees such as arizonics, bananas, ashes or sagebrush.

In the event that symptoms are detected in children it is best to take them to the allergy specialist who will do the necessary tests to correctly diagnose and apply the most appropriate treatment.
