Have you ever wonder why Georgia has so much pollen than any other places? Pollen personally do not bother me but i know it annoys some people due to their allergic reactions. It is a part of nature and some people call it this is when trees are having sex, which is somewhat true. According to my course i learned that males trees are the one who create most of the pollen and they are cheap to plant and this is why we experience so much pollen in Georgia. Very interesting facts to know. Anyways, lets talk about the outcome of this people for some people which can be more serious than we think. Pollen causes asthma, runny nose, watery eyes, sneeze, and coughs. It can be very deadly for some people. How about pollen itself makes things dusty and dry. First thing we notice is our cars. This is when people wash their cars more often than any other time. Car wash guys stay happy because this is their season for business so something is good about pollen.

Common issues of pollen is sneezing, runny nose and watery eyes

Tom Ogren, an agriculturist and author. He wrote books about “Allergy Free Gardening” and “Safe Sex in the Garden” He argues that approach to urban landscaping that prizes gender diversity in an effort to reduce pollen counts. however, city planners argue that even if cities have become enclaves of horticulture masculinity, they are not the cause of runny nose. Pollen blows everywhere, he also added, diversifying trees in a city wouldn’t reduce pollen simnifically.

However, it is not that hard for cities to plant allergy free landscaping. a handful of cities in the west are already working to reduce pollens. Places such as Tucson, phoenix, las vegas, el paso are all banning planting pollen producing trees.

Almost the worst pollen affected areas Boston came out to be worst. Other places such as, Connecticut, Greenville South Carolina topped on the chart.

I think its one of those issues we think about every year when pollen season comes but no one seems to take a legitimate action to reduce pollen. I did not see any action taken from local county or local news paper never talks about pollen issues in Georgia. One of those seasonal issue which comes every year   for a little period time and people complain about pollen and goes away when pollen ends as well as people. This is not the actual case and there is always a cure which no one seems to be interested. Local officials wont say anything to this because in the end all they care about easy maintenance and cheaper tree for plantations.
