Correlation of high pollen concentrations with air pollutants and meteorological parameters: “the case of Islamabad, Pakistan”

Key Points

• High pollen concentrations correlate significantly with increased levels of air pollutants, particularly during peak seasons.
• During the study, peak pollen counts reached 150 grains per cubic meter, highlighting the severity of air quality issues.
• Observational analysis assessed meteorological parameters such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed correlating with pollen levels.
• The findings may enable better public health strategies to address respiratory issues related to air pollution.
