How We Count Pollen

Pollen counts are different than pollen forecasts. Forecasts are predicted based on the previous year’s counts and current weather conditions. The counts are reported for specific plants such as trees, grasses, and weeds and mold spores. 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. NAB stations use air sampling instruments that collect pollen from the atmosphere. The air samples are then examined under a microscope, and the individual pollen grains are identified and counted. These samples represent what was in the atmosphere during the previous 24 hours and are expressed as pollen levels of low, moderate, high, or very high on the NAB website.
