Is your asthma made worse by allergens in the air?
Our local AusPollen Apps provide daily levels of pollen in the air.
To help us evaluate the usefulness of our Apps and how we can improve this service, we invite you to complete a short questionnaire before and after the pollen season.
This research will help us site future pollen count stations and determine whether there are local triggers that make hay fever and asthma worse.
Best regards,
Farewell from the Melbourne Pollen Count
Thanks for your support and interest in our work over the past season.
Why 2016 has been the worst Christmas in years for hay fever sufferers
We are prolonging our count into January this year.

Peace, love and joy to all. The Melbourne Pollen Count team wishes everyone a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
