Discussion
Based on past pollen counts and expected weather conditions, pollen levels for Tuesday will be falling in the moderate range. This lower level is caused by rising humidity and expected precipitation in the morning and afternoon which tends to wash pollen out of the air. This reduction in pollen levels should be a relief to allergy sufferers.
Allergy Facts
Sedges are typically classified with the grass family when reported in pollen counts. Although 4,000 species of these grass-like plants exist around the world, they generally grow in marshy areas away from human population centers. Few people, therefore, suffer from allergies to sedge pollen.
