Local Environmental Conditions
Most of the area around this site in Unincorporated Chatsworth is open grassland, with some scrubland and woodland. The damp ground beside a stream or river nearby supports trees, shrubs and reeds, adding to local pollen. Oak stands out as the main allergenic tree nearby. Grass pollen is plentiful, while pigweed and mugwort lead among the weeds.
Oak leads the season in mid-spring, as temperatures climb to around 15°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in late spring and keep pollen in the air into early fall. Later, pigweed and mugwort keep weed pollen in the air from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in winter, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.
