Local Environmental Conditions
A waterway supports hazel and willow along its bank, both strongly allergenic wind-pollinated species, about 500 meters off. Located reasonably near, about 400 meters out, this area has a wooded stretch of oak and birch, with birch responsible for some of the sharpest spring counts. Maintained parkland where turf grass and ornamental species add to the grass and ragweed mix; this sits immediately nearby, about 150 meters off.
Water-edge hazel and willow are usually the first allergenic trees active here, peaking in late winter through March. The woodland's oak and birch trees become the main pollen source by mid-spring, peaking in the heart of spring, generally April into May. Moving into early summer, grass pollen climbs to its seasonal high in June, then yields to ragweed, the dominant late-summer and fall allergen through October.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
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. |
