Pollen and sensitive air
Respiratory health in the Canary Islands
Forecast pollen, irritating pollutants and Saharan dust, kept separate so different signals are not mixed.
Aire Canarias combines real pollen forecasts, when available, with the respiratory advisory calculated from AQI, PM10, PM2.5, O3, NO2 and Saharan dust. This is environmental guidance, not personalised medical advice.
