Local Environmental Conditions
Hazel and willow crowd the water's edge, both classic sources of early allergenic pollen; this sits close to home here. Here, in the vicinity, oak and birch dominating the treeline, both heavy contributors to the spring pollen load. Green space with maintained lawn and planted trees, both contributing to grass and ragweed counts, nearby.
The bank's hazel and willow kick off the pollen season ahead of the rest, reaching its high point sometime in late winter or early spring. The nearby oak and birch stands take the lead as spring progresses, cresting around April and May in the year's sharpest tree-pollen spike. Grass pollen counts rise through late spring, reaching their peak around June, then gives way to ragweed, which drives the season's second major surge from mid-August into October.

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. |
