The Pollen Report provides allergy sufferers with a day-to-day guide on pollen levels for Cape Town specifically, as well as for other major cities in South Africa. It gives practical information on the types of pollen in the air and alerts allergy sufferers, particularly asthmatics, when to stay indoors and curtail their activities. Information is presented by Dr Jonny Peters, Head of the Division of Allergology and Clinical Immunology at UCT.
