Local Environmental Conditions
This site in South Bend Township is surrounded mainly by woodland, which covers around 59% of the nearby area, with some open grassland. Close to a stream or river, riverside trees such as poplar contribute to what is in the air. Allergenic trees nearby include oak, maple and mulberry. Grasses also feature strongly, alongside ragweed among the weeds.
Oak, maple and mulberry lead the season in late spring, as temperatures climb to around 15°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Then come the grasses, strongest in late spring and fading by early fall. The season closes with ragweed from late summer into mid-fall. In warm, humid weather through summer, mold spores add to the mix, especially after rain.
