The pollen count measures the number of pollen grains in a cubic meter of air over a specific period, usually 24 hours. Pollen, produced by trees, grasses, and weeds, is a common allergen responsible for symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, and a runny nose. The count is divided into categories—low, moderate, high, and very high—helping individuals understand the severity of pollen levels on any given day. This information is crucial for allergy sufferers who need to take preventive measures, such as staying indoors, using air purifiers, or taking antihistamines.
