Pollen From Russian Poplar Trees Triggers Health Concern In Kashmir, India
A vehicle moves as pollen from Russian poplar trees flies through the air along a road in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on May 8, 2026. Pollen from Russian poplar trees, particularly the female Populus deltoides species, appears as white, cotton-like seed fluff that spreads across Srinagar during April and May. The airborne pollen is known to trigger respiratory problems and allergies, including asthma, allergic rhinitis, eye irritation, sneezing, and throat infections. Kashmir is witnessing a sharp rise in pollen allergy cases, with health experts estimating that nearly 30 percent of the Valley's population experiences some form of pollen-related allergic reaction.
