Local Environmental Conditions
Around 43% of the area near Lake Gairdner is scrubland, with a good deal of open grassland and bare ground. The damp ground beside a watercourse nearby supports trees, shrubs and reeds, adding to local pollen. Grass pollen is significant here, and pigweed contributes weed pollen. Locally, scrubland contributes pollen from shrubs, grasses and herbs.
Grasses take over in mid-spring and keep pollen in the air into early fall. Later, pigweed keeps weed pollen in the air from early summer into early fall. In this dry climate, pollen can linger in the air for long spells without rain. Day to day, sunshine and wind lift the counts, while a spell of rain can bring them down sharply.

Does pollen in Lake Gairdner come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Lake Gairdner based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Lake Gairdner, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
