Pollen Count

Trees Grasses Weeds
Ragweed Molds
The previous Aeroallergen Network calculations are based on the data (per cubic meter) reported by all certified counting stations for trees, grasses, weeds and molds.
  • Median or 50th percentile (half of counts are below this point)
  • 75th percentile (75% of counts are below this point)
  • 99th percentile (99% of counts are below this point)

Based on these calculations, the National Allergy Bureau has set the following definitions for low, moderate, high and very high concentration levels:
