Spring has arrived in many Chinese cities. The weather is warm and trees are growing. But many people feel uncomfortable. They sneeze and their eyes feel itchy. Why? The answer is pollen.
Pollen comes from trees like cypress and willow. People cannot see it, but it is in the air. When people breathe it, they may get allergies. Young and middle-aged people often have this problem because they spend more time outside.
What can people do? They can wear masks and stay inside when pollen is high. They should also sleep well and eat healthy food. Cities are helping too. Beijing uses special spray to reduce pollen. Some cities are also planting different trees that make less pollen.
