Local Environmental Conditions
Most of the area around the center of Valenca, Rio de Janeiro is built-up land, with some woodland and open grassland. With the Sul River nearby, riverside vegetation along its banks contributes to the local mix. Locally, the surrounding woods make trees an important source; street trees, parks and lawns are the main sources in the built-up parts.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in early spring. Grasses take over in early spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into mid-fall. A smaller weed peak follows from early summer into early fall. Warm, humid weather keeps mold spores around for most of the year as well. Within each of these periods, warm, dry and windy days push levels higher, while rain clears the air.
