Discussion
The amount of pollen in the air for Thursday will be falling in the low range. The cause for the falling pollen levels is falling temperatures, rising humidity, and expected precipitation in the afternoon and evening which tends 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 term chenopods is used to represent members of the Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae families. The pollen grains of these two families are so similar that they are virtually impossible to differentiate between species, even by trained technicians, so they are listed collectively as "chenopods". Some of the plants found in these families include amaranth, pigweed, waterhemp, russian thistle, lamb's quarters, and kochia. These plants are found throughout the United States and flower typically in the summer and fall. The pollen of these families can be highly allergenic and is a cause of concern to allergic individuals.
