Local Environmental Conditions
Vermilion Heights — Here, at around 258m distant, a stretch of hazel and willow lines the water, feeding some of spring's earliest pollen. Woodland where oak stands alongside birch, the latter especially aggressive as an allergen, practically next door, 116 meters off. Here, about 725 meters off, a green space of mown lawn and planted trees, both feeding into local grass and ragweed counts.
The water-adjacent hazel and willow are early risers, topping out well before most other trees start releasing pollen, around February and March. The area's oak and birch trees pollinate through mid-to-late spring, generally peaking somewhere between April and May. Grass pollen builds through late spring and peaks in June, before ragweed becomes the more dominant allergen from mid-August into October.

| 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. |
