Gottlieb Allergy Count
The allergen counts are supplied by allergist Dr. Joseph Leija who goes to the roof of the Gottlieb Professional Building every weekday morning, (during allergy season, April to October) to gather pollen samples. Pollen grains and spores are collected from a cubic meter sample of air and counted under a microscope.
The latest pollen and spores counts are listed to the right in our Twitter feed.
SOURCE | PEAK SEASON | LOW COUNT | MODERATE COUNT | HIGH COUNT | ALERT: Those with allergies should stay indoors |
| Grass | May to June | Less than 5 grains | 5 to 20 | 21 to 200 | More than 200 |
| Trees | March to May | Less than 15 grains | 15 to 90 | 91 to 1,500 | More than 1,500 |
