Asthma at Work
Many people find that their asthma symptoms get worse at work. This can be due to cleaning sprays, house dust mites, small particles in the air, or even working outdoor if you experience hay fever.
Pollen Tracker - Asthma and Hayfever
The Asthma Society of Ireland Hayfever Campaign is kindly supported by ALK and A. Menarini. As part of the campaign, the Asthma Society pollen tracker will provide daily updates on pollen levels around Ireland including regional prediction levels for the current and following day.
‘Pollen Season’ runs from now until September, and people with asthma are advised to ensure their asthma and hayfever are well managed. The pollen tracker can help people to recognise the days when they need to take additional precautions to manage their asthma and hayfever.
Our Pollen Tacker will run from May 2023 to August 2023
Gardening With Asthma And Hayfever

Asthma in the Home
Many asthma triggers can be found in the home. As we spend up to 90% of our time indoors, this can have a significant impact on asthma symptoms.
Asthma & Exercise
Exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. This is doubly true for people with asthma. Exercise can even help improve lung capacity and reduce asthma symptoms.
Asthma & Pregnancy
Speak to your doctor, nurse or midwife about how you can keep your symptoms under control during pregnancy and labour. This is also a good time to update your Asthma Action Plan, or create one with your healthcare professional.
Asthma & Study
If you have asthma and are getting ready to sit an exam this year, it is important that you get your symptoms under control as early as possible.
Asthma & Older People
People are often surprised to find out they’ve developed asthma later in life but it’s not unusual. Regardless of your age, it's important to ensure your asthma is well looked after and under control.
Asthma & Festivals
With good planning and common sense there is no reason why asthma, rhinitis or allergies should interfere with your experience at concerts and music festivals.
