Local Environmental Conditions
Located not far from here, this area has water here is bordered by hazel and willow, both notable sources of wind-borne pollen. Woodland where oak stands alongside birch, the latter especially aggressive as an allergen; this sits just outside the immediate area. Here, within the local area, a park where mown turf grass and ornamental trees add grass and ragweed pollen.
Along the waterway, hazel and willow release pollen first, reaching its high point sometime in late winter or early spring. By mid-spring, oak and birch in the woods take over, generally peaking somewhere between April and May. Moving into early summer, grass pollen climbs to its seasonal high in June, then gives way to ragweed, which drives the season's second major surge from mid-August into October.

| 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. |
