What is pollen count?
Pollen count measures the number of pollen grains per cubic meter of air. Pollen counts of 50 or less are considered low, while 500 or more is high. These measures can differ according to pollen type. The higher the pollen index, the greater the chance that people suffering from hay fever will experience symptoms when they are outdoors or exposed to outdoor air.

Types of pollen that may trigger your allergies
There are three main types of pollen: tree pollen, grass pollen, and weed pollen, and under them feature a multitude of sub-species of each type.
Managing Pollen Allergies Starts With Awareness
The presence of pollen in the air can cause sensitive groups to experience symptoms such as sneezing, watery eyes, itchy throat, and eyes, wheezing. Pollen can also lead to allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and aggravate asthma symptoms.
The allergies can be categorized into tree pollen allergy, weed pollen allergy, and grass pollen allergy.
Tree pollen
is responsible for most spring pollen allergy symptoms. It also often overlaps with grass pollen in the spring and summer.
Grass pollen
allergy affects people depending on their location. In Northern U.S, grass pollen appears in the late spring or early summer. In the South, grasses may release pollen during many seasons and could trigger symptoms throughout the year.
Weed pollen
especially ragweed, causes allergy symptoms for many. About 15% of people in the US are allergic to ragweed pollen. Weed pollen appears in the late summer and fall.

Frequently asked questions
What are pollen counts?
Pollen counts refer to the number of pollen grains present in the air per standard volume. Counts of 50 or fewer are considered low, while counts of 500 or more are regarded as high.
How are pollen counts measured?
Traditionally, pollen count has been calculated using air-sampling devices such as the Burkard Sampler or the Rotorod Sampler. However, this method is considered outdated. At Ambee, we examine multiple pollen stations’ historical data and patterns while taking into account other phenological factors and behaviors. Using the power of proprietary AI and ML models, Ambee’s virtual pollen monitoring station provides reliable and accurate pollen counts.
How can we check pollen count?
To access accurate pollen count data, you can utilize Ambee's API dashboard for free access to 30 days of data. For enterprise-level requirements, consider subscribing to an Ambee enterprise plan. Alternatively, obtain instant access to daily pollen counts through the Ambee pollen app, available on both the Play Store and the App Store.
What are the different types of pollen?
There are three main types of pollen: tree pollen, grass pollen, and weed pollen. Under these types, there are numerous subspecies within each category.

A high pollen count varies depending on the pollen type. Generally, a high pollen count is considered to be: Trees: 90-1499, Grass: 20-199, and Weed: 50-499.
What time in the year pollen counts are high?
Pollen counts vary throughout the year depending on the type of plant. Tree pollen typically peaks in the spring, often overlapping with grass pollen. Grass pollen season generally occurs in late spring or early summer in the northern U.S., while it can persist throughout the year in the South. Weed pollen typically appears in late summer and fall.
