Poplar fluff creates discomfort people in the capital

In the spring, certain people suffer from allergies due to plants or trees that bloom. In the capital, the poplar fluff creates discomfort to the inhabitants in several districts. Trees, experts say, can not be cut because they produce more oxygen than other trees. That's why doctors come up with recommendations to relieve symptoms of allergies to people, reports Radio Moldova.

Currently, no poplar trees are planted in the capital. Those that we have already can not be cut off unless they are old, says the head of the "Green Spaces" municipal enterprise, Serghei Carp. And that's because poplars are the best filter in cities, says the manager.

People complain that it is very difficult for them to stand out at this time, because the poplar fluff creates a mechanical irritation of the nasal cavity, and the pollen that is transported by the fluff causes allergies.

Cough, clogged nose and sneezing are the main symptoms of allergies. To alleviate the symptoms of spring allergies, the head of the Department of Allergy at the Mother and Child Institute, Tatiana Gorelco, urges avoiding contact with the allergen.

"The fluff irritates the skin, irritates the respiratory organs, the conjunctiva of the eyes. Poplar fluff is capable of transporting dust particles and pollen from other plants, so patients develop pollinosis," said Tatiana Gorelco.

Currently in the capital there are about 10 thousand poplars.
