Discussion
The amount of pollen in the air for Tuesday will be falling in the moderate range. This decrease is due to falling temperatures, rising humidity and heavy rains in the evening which tend to wash pollen out of the air. With this amount of reduction in pollen levels, tomorrow should be better for allergy sufferers.
Allergy Facts
The greatest danger to allergy sufferers in the garden is not pollen from ornamental plants, it is mold that can grow on the surface of the dirt. When soil is disturbed by digging or weeding, mold spores are released into the air. To avoid undue exposure to mold, gardeners sensitive to mold should not dig just after it rains, when mold is at its peak.
