The ragweed season is in full swing, the number of pollen grains of this herb last week was three to five times higher than the prescribed limit values, and this week the situation is even worse!
Those who are allergic to ragweed in recent days cannot breathe or open their eyes properly. Drowning, nasal congestion, coughing, sneezing, but also fatigue due to these problems, prevent many from fulfilling their job duties in a valid way, Politika reports.
This situation is not surprising, because only last week in the capital, the number of ragweed pollen grains was three to five times higher than the prescribed limit values. The upper limit of the number of pollen grains is 30, and in the previous week, 480 of them were recorded on certain days.
This week, the situation is even worse, says Mirjana Mitrović Josipović, allergen monitoring coordinator at the Environmental Protection Agency, but the exact number of pollen grains from this dangerous allergenic plant will be known next Monday. All measurement results for the previous seven days are then summarized.
– For days, people call us and complain that they have terrible allergy problems to ragweed. From five in the afternoon, when the sun rises, until late at night, this plant is extremely active. This is especially annoying for those who have to go outside, into the open space. It is not much better for the inhabitants of our city who do not have air conditioning in the house, but have to open the windows to cool off. The rain that fell in certain parts of the city did not significantly lower the values, nor did it alleviate the suffering of allergy sufferers. Because enough allergens have already “built up” in the blood to cause complications, especially since most of them have been under the influence of ragweed for about ten days. That is why it is necessary to consult a doctor as soon as possible and apply a therapy that would alleviate at least a little the difficulties – explains Mirjana Mitrović Josipović for Politika.
Ambrosia is now especially active, because its side branches have begun to bloom, which further complicates the problem. And not only in Belgrade, but also in other parts of the country. Last week, for example, 1,300 pollen grains per cubic meter were recorded in Vrbas in one day. The situation is similar in Kula. Currently, the situation is more favorable in Zlatibor, in Vranje, as well as in places with an altitude of more than five hundred meters.
In addition to ragweed, at this time there are other plants that grow and cause allergy problems. These are nettle, buckthorn, four …
– The number of pollen grains of these plants is not high, but together with ragweed, they affect the saturation of the air with allergens and make life even more difficult for fellow citizens – points out Mirjana Mitrović Josipović.
The recommendation to all people who have problems with ragweed is that, if possible, do not go out in the morning, stay in air-conditioned rooms, shower and wash their hair when they return home, and never dry the hair. outdoor clothing.
According to experts, the ragweed shock season will last until September 20, but you will certainly feel the allergic consequences for another 10-15 days after that.
