The powders are back! And almost all of France has been affected by the growth of pollen, especially grass, a real nightmare for people with allergies. This Monday, May 22, 81 departments were indeed placed on red alert by the National Aerobic Surveillance Network (RNSA). A few sections on the map that are not colored red, particularly in the north and northwest, are still colored yellow.
The first source of respiratory allergies
“Grass dust is increasing from the south to the north of the country and will affect all French departments this week with a high risk of allergies.”, writes the RNSA in its updated post on Monday. The guilty. Weather: If many showers in early May “were able to give allergy sufferers some relief by putting the dust on the ground”however they have “promoted grass growth and development” explains the RNSA. Warming mercury and returning sun goes like this “promote the emission and dispersion of high concentrations of grass dust in the air.”
Almost 25% of people in France suffer from respiratory allergies, according to the RNSA. The first source is obviously pollen, and grasses are among the most allergenic pollens. Allergy sufferers will have to rely on rare stormy rains to hit France for any hope of respite.
