Gefahr im Anflug: Pollenallergien

Pollen is one of the most common triggers of hay fever – the most widespread illness in Europe. More than one million children and young people in Germany are currently affected. Older people, too, are increasingly likely to have a severe immune reaction to the pollen of certain trees such as birch and ash, grasses like timothy and plants such as nettle and common mugwort.

This brochure provides background information on pollen allergies and potential precautionary or preventive measures.
