"Extremely long standby" flying catkins invade the north and south

From April to June, both the north and south of my country will be invaded by flying catkins.

In North China, the main tree species that produce flying catkins are poplars and willows. Taking Beijing as an example, on April 8, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Landscape and Forestry and the Beijing Meteorological Bureau issued a forecast that Beijing would enter its first flying catkin period on the 9th, and the first peak period would occur next week.

In Beijing, the flying catkins period generally lasts from early April to late May, about 50 days.

During the flying catkins period, the peak period is from 10:00 to 16:00 every day.

In the south, taking Nanjing as an example, from April to June every year, the cones of the plane trees on the roadside mature and crack, and the fruit fluff is scattered by the wind, causing a certain impact on citizens' travel and life.

Flying catkins are small but can cause great harm

In addition to Beijing and Nanjing, Xi'an, Yangzhou and other places have also issued "flying catkins warnings."

For people who are prone to allergies, they have to experience the fear of being dominated by flying catkins every spring and summer. "When flying catkins come overnight, thousands of people suffer from rhinitis." Wang Qirui, a researcher at the Henan Academy of Forestry Sciences, said that during the germination period of plane trees, many people will feel dry and sore throats when they go out, which is often caused by the hairs of the plane trees, and the same is true for flying catkins of poplars and willows.

Flying catkins can also easily cause fires, because willow catkins contain a lot of oil, which are very easy to burn when exposed to open flames, and spread very quickly. Therefore, a cigarette butt thrown away casually may cause a fire, posing a great fire hazard.
