Discussion
Concentration of pollen grains in the air for Tuesday will be falling in the moderate range. This relief in pollen levels is caused in part by falling temperatures, rising humidity and heavy rains in the evening which tend to wash pollen out of the air. That's good news 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.
