Local Environmental Conditions
Here, just outside the immediate area, hazel and willow thrive along the damp bank, both prolific early wind-pollinators. Here, in the surrounding area, oak and birch make up the bulk of this woodland, birch being the more potent allergen of the two. The general pattern described here holds fairly steady across nearby areas with similar land cover.
Hazel and willow by the water are typically first out of the gate, hitting its peak before most trees have even budded, around late winter into March. Oak and birch in the nearby woodland follow in mid-to-late spring, usually hitting its highest point sometime between mid-April and mid-May. By late spring, grass pollen is climbing steadily toward a June high point, and then ragweed picks up the slack, running from mid-August through October.

Does pollen in Tunkhannock Township 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.

Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Tunkhannock Township 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 Tunkhannock Township, 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. |
