How We Count Pollen
Our Pollen Counting Technician at Asthma Allergy Associates is one of a small number of pollen counters nationally certified by the National Allergy Bureau, and has the rare skill set for pollen and mold identification. The technician uses an airborne sample collection machine that is located in central Colorado Springs. Special rods are placed into the collector that runs 1 minute of every 10 minutes for 24 hour periods. After the rods are retrieved, a stain is applied to facilitate identification of the different pollen and mold spores. The counts reflect the amount of pollen and mold in a cubic centimeter of air. The sampler machine is sent away to be inspected annually.
