Pollen Indicator, ZAUM

A World Premiere: KesselsGranger designed a revolutionary pollen indicator for ZAUM - Centre of Allergy & Environment of the Technical University Munich. The pollen indicator shows optically which and how much pollen is in the air right now.

The indicator is NOT a measuring instrument. It is connected online to a pollen measuring instrument at Munich, Biedersteinerstrasse 29 (München Schwabing). The measuring instrument provides the exact number of pollen, the indicator “translates” this in a visual signal. Pollen show a general distribution, i.e. if we measure many pollen in Munich, Biederstein, there will be also many pollen on other locations over Munich.

The pollen indicator connects to a newly, only in Bavaria, Germany, installed pollen monitoring network ePIN (electronic Pollen Information Network). This network is the first network in the world that monitors online the current pollen concentrations. Both, the pollen indicator and the ePIN Network are world-wide the first of their kind ever shown.

The Pollen Indicator was planned by ZAUM - Center of Allergy & Environment (Prof. Dr. J. Buters) of the Technical University Munich with kind financial support by Allergopharma GmbH & Co. KG, Reinbek, Germany, and EAACI. The design was made by KesselsGranger.

The Network ePIN was also designed by ZAUM, and was realized by the LGL (Bayerisches Landesamt für Gesundheit und Lebensmittelsicherheit). The automatic pollen monitors are from Helmut Hund GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany.

A permanent reminder to the EAACI meeting for the city of Munich.
