Airborne Pollen Increases Risk of COVID-19 by Anjanee Sharma on  March 10, 2021 at 6:27 PM Scientists wanted to find out if there existed a demonstrable link between airborne pollen concentrations and SARS-CoV-2 infection rates after the viruss outbreak appeared to coincide with the tree pollen season. They found that pollen is a significant environmental factor that influences infection rates. First author Athanasios Damialiss team of 154 researchers obtained data on airbo...

Higher pollen count may increase risk for COVID-19, study says By (0) Higher pollen counts could increase risk for spread of COVID-19, researchers say. File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo Its that time of year when flowers and trees bloom freely and pollen makes the lives of many miserable. But new research reveals a hidden risk: It could also make you more vulnerable to COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 infection rates waxed and waned with pollen counts in 2020, according to trac...

The global spread of COVID-19 coincided with a large seasonal peak in pollen emissions in the northern hemisphere. According to...

When airborne pollen levels are higher, increased SARS-CoV-2 infection rates can be observed. These results were determined by a large-scale study conducted by an international team headed by researchers at the Technical University of Munich and the Helmholtz Zentrum München.
