Pollen in Elizabeth, NJ

About pollen in Elizabeth

Pollen counts in Elizabeth are quiet today, with tree pollen essentially absent and no other categories showing activity. Anyone who typically reacts to pollen should find the air fairly calm right now, with little reason for symptoms tied to allergens circulating outdoors. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to remain flat over the next several days, so no significant change is on the horizon. This lull makes sense for late July, well past the spring peak when trees like ginkgo, cherry and pear relatives, ash, and elm release most of their pollen. At this point in summer, grass and ragweed are the more likely sources of irritation for sensitive individuals, so it is worth keeping an eye on those as the season progresses toward late summer and fall.

What to do today

• Pollen is minimal today, so it's a great time to be outside.
