Local Environmental Conditions
Located some 300-400 meters out, this area has the riverbank shelters hazel and willow, two trees whose pollen travels readily on the breeze. Nearby, immediately nearby, about 200 meters off, a canopy of oak and birch, birch chief among them for allergenic potency here. Maintained parkland where turf grass and ornamental species add to the grass and ragweed mix; this sits a comfortable 350 meters away.
The waterside hazel and willow are consistently first to release pollen each year, peaking in late winter through March. The nearby oak and birch stands take the lead as spring progresses, peaking in the heart of spring, generally April into May. Grass pollen becomes the dominant allergen through late spring, peaking in June, then yields to ragweed, the dominant late-summer and fall allergen through October.

Does pollen in East Lansing come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in East Lansing based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in East Lansing, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.

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. |
