Pollen affects human health across the United States and all over the world. However, there are limited pollen counting stations throughout the country. Keeping track of pollen levels assists researchers, healthcare workers, and those with respiratory issues. Citizen Scientists can collect a pollen sample in their own backyard and upload the data to our pollen map using our Pollen Nation app.
