How is Pollen Count Measured?

If you suffer from allergies, specifically allergic rhinitis/hay fever and/or allergies caused by excess pollen in the air, you probably monitor the pollen count to determine if you're going to spend time outdoors. And Atlanta, Georgia is one of the worst cities in America for allergies.

According to Wikipedia:

"Pollen count is the measurement of the number of grains of pollen in a cubic meter of air. The higher the number, the more people will suffer if they are allergic to a particular pollen (hay fever). Usually, the counts are announced for specific plants such as grass, ash, or olive. These are tailored to what is usually a common plant in the area being measured.

One method of taking the sample uses a silicone grease-covered rod that is rotated in the air to collect the pollen. The rod is rotated periodically during the collection period to gather samples through an entire 24-hour day. The rod is then removed and taken to a lab where the collected material is analyzed for the type of pollen and its concentration."

You can get a daily report on this blog for the pollen count in Atlanta and surrounding areas.

Have Allergies Increased in Atlanta Georgia?

Indeed they are, and there are a number of plausible alternatives as to why that may be. Early speculations centered on the changes in our living situations and our households. Indoor pets have certainly become more prominent, carpeting and less outdoor air entry might lead to increased levels of dust mites, and maybe mold... but the most intriguing consideration of all is referred to as the "hygiene hypothesis" which proposes that our immune systems develop along two major pathways in that they are largely complementary in that when one goes up, the other goes down. One directed more at infectious illnesses and the other at more of an allergic response.

Modern life and medicine have provided many improvements: better sanitation, effective antibiotics, immunization... all tending to reduce our infectious burden. But here's the rub: allowing a generation of more allergic responses. Many pieces of epidemiologic evidence support this concept. So when mom told you to "go wash your hands" it reduced the bacteria but may have actually let to a greater likelihood of greater allergic disease.

Dr Paul Rabinowitz on chronic cough in Atlanta

We're often asked to see patients with chronic cough. In fact, more than ever, we're seeing patients with chronic cough. When I go out and talk with other doctors, it's amazing how many other doctors tell us they have patients with cough they can't bring under control.

So, it's a serious problem, and an allergist is a good place to go to have an evaluation. The possibilities that are most likely to cause a chronic cough begin with the sinuses. If somebody has sinus obstruction, sinus infection, with associated drainage, that can lead to a cough.

Nasal allergy, with associated post-nasal drip, can lead to a cough.

Asthma, can have, as one of its components in addition to wheezing and tightness of chest, cough can be one of the symptoms of asthma (and maybe the only symptom).

And finally, patients may have acid reflux coming up into the throat and triggering an irritative cough.

So when a patient comes in, I will take a history to see which of these are a possibility; then do appropriate studies, possibly x-rays for sinusitis, allergy testing to see if allergy is present, spirometry to see if asthma is present, and if the symptoms are right, assessing the need for acid-reflux inducing medications.

Spring Allergies, Pollen & Mold in Atlanta

Spring time means an end to the long winter season with warming temperatures and outdoor activities for many people. During this time of year, trees, plants and weeds also recognize the changing weather and begin to bloom. These burst of flowers are a welcome sign to many, but for millions of people it also means the beginning of sneezing, coughing and watery eyes.

These seasonal allergies are often caused by pollen and mold spores that are released into the air. When people who are allergic to these substances come into contact with them, their immune system releases antibodies that attack the allergens. Histamines are released into the body and trigger the allergic reactions so common to many people.

Atlanta, Georgia was one of the worst cities for allergies in the US in 2004. Fortunately, we've improve slightly.

Both pollen and mold spores can travel great distances in the outdoor air. This can be especially true during windy spring days. These air quality contaminants can be a concern to both people enjoying the outdoor weather and even those indoors as the allergens can often enter buildings through open doors and windows, on people's clothes, and through the HVAC system where they may even accumulate.

There are simple tips to help spring allergy sufferers during this time of year. They include:

• Keeping doors and windows shut.
• Driving with car windows closed.
• Limiting time outdoors and possibly wearing a mask during outdoor activities.
• Avoiding drying clothes outdoors.
• Monitoring pollen and mold counts before heading outdoors.
• Showering and washing clothes after spending time outdoors.
• Utilizing high-efficiency air filters to remove airborne allergens.

For some people, these same airborne allergens can even trigger an asthma attack. Those who experience allergies all year long should also consider possible indoor allergens that they may be exposed to on a regular basis. Common indoor contaminants include mold, dust mites, pet dander, and insect and rodent allergens.

These are just a few things to know about spring allergies, to learn more about allergens or other indoor air quality, industrial hygiene, health and safety, or environmental issues, please visit Allergy & Asthma Consultants in Atlanta.
