Pollen Forecast for Mandan, North Dakota
High
Cedar/Juniper, Alder, Elm
Discussion
Pollen concentrations for Monday will be falling but will remain in the high range. This lower level is caused by rising humidity, weakening winds and expected precipitation in the morning, afternoon and evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air. The lower pollen levels are significant and should help allergy sufferers to cope tomorrow.
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.
