Description
The electronic pollen information network (ePIN) consists of eight electronic pollen monitors in Altötting, Feucht, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Hof, Marktheidenfeld, Mindelheim, Munich and Viechtach, as well as four Hirst-type pollen traps in Bamberg, Münnerstadt, Oberjoch and at the Schneefernerhaus environmental research station (UFS) on the Zugspitze. This network makes it possible to measure pollen counts in real time. In addition, pollen allergy sufferers have access to a pollen diary in which they can document their personal allergy-related symptoms and impairments in everyday life on a daily basis. This helps allergy sufferers to adjust their behavior and, if necessary, their medication intake.
The following content is provided in the app
- Display of the current pollen count using the pollen count index of the most important allergy-causing plants at 3-hour intervals at the eight locations with the electronic pollen monitors
- Pollen diary for recording pollen allergy complaints
- Manually determined pollen data: In addition to the eight electronic pollen monitors, four Hirst-type pollen traps are also operated in ePIN.
- Review of the pollen count of past days at the eight locations
- Information on allergy-causing plants
- Information on pollen allergies
