When is the pollen count lowest?

Solution

Pollen count:

  1. The pollen count is a measure of the average number of pollen grains per cubic meter square.
  2. It is usually recorded during the day, so pollen count forecasts are likely to reflect daytime figures too.
  3. Pollen grains are often measured using the rotarod technique.

Lowest Pollen count:

  1. The amount of pollen in the air changes from day to day as well as throughout the day.
  2. Pollen counts usually rise in the morning and will reach their peak by midday or early afternoon and then falls.
  3. Hence, the lowest pollen counts are usually before dawn and in the late afternoon to early evening.
  4. If the pollen count is very much high, a moderate decrease later in the day also may still leave a high concentration of pollen in the air.
  5. Pollen levels are lower overall at night, but in certain conditions, the effects of pollen can affect the sleep of an individual.
