Pollen Forecast for Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania
High
Maple, Poplar/Aspen/Cottonwood, Alder
Discussion
Pollen concentrations for Monday will be falling but will remain in the very high range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this decrease is due in part to rising humidity and expected precipitation in the morning, afternoon and evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air.
Allergy Facts
Some Australian researchers recently announced an advance which may help folks plant rye grass which is significantly less allergenic. They essentially turned off the protein in the genes which causes allergy to 90% of those allergic to rye grass. They have yet to determine if the grass holds other characteristics, such as providing feed for animals.
