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 virus's 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 Damialis's team of 154 researchers obtained data on airborne pollen concentrations, weather conditions, and SARS-CoV-2 infections. They took the variation ...

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 It's 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 tracking data gathered across 31 countries in every corner of the globe. Advertisement "Airborne pollen...

The global spread of COVID-19 coincided with a large seasonal peak in pollen emissions in the northern hemisphere. According to the research, when airborne pollen levels were higher, increased SARS-CoV-2 infection rates could b...

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.
