Pollen is not typically seen in our area from this time of year until early march. Mold spores will continue to be present and levels will fluctuate depending upon humidity, temperature, and snowfall. A mild winter may result in continued high mold spore levels. With snow cover, mold spores will decrease to insignificant levels. The Asthma Center pollen count report will resume in March 2012 with the beginning of the spring hayfever season. Pollen and mold research data is the sole property of The Asthma Center and cannot be reproduced, used commercially (e.g. clinical trials), or redistributed for any reason without written permission from The Asthma Center.
