What is Pollen Count?
Pollen count measures the number of pollen grains per cubic meter of air. Pollen counts of 50 or less are considered low, while 500 or more is high. These measures can differ according to pollen type.The higher the pollen index, the greater the chance that people suffering from hay fever will experience symptoms when they are outdoors or exposed to outdoor air.

Managing Pollen Allergies Starts With Awareness
The presence of pollen in the air can cause sensitive groups to experience symptoms such as sneezing, watery eyes, itchy throat, and eyes, wheezing. Pollen can also lead to allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and aggravate asthma symptoms.
The allergies can be categorized into tree pollen allergy, weed pollen allergy, and grass pollen allergy.
Tree pollen
is responsible for most spring pollen allergy symptoms. It also often overlaps with grass pollen in the spring and summer.
Grass pollen
allergy affects people depending on their location. In Northern U.S, grass pollen appears in the late spring or early summer. In the South, grasses may release pollen during many seasons and could trigger symptoms throughout the year.
Weed pollen
especially ragweed, causes allergy symptoms for many. About 15% of people in the US are allergic to ragweed pollen. Weed pollen appears in the late summer and fall.
