Hi, I’m a high schooler from Saint Paul, MN, and I’m writing a statistics paper on the effect of pollen count on how many times I sneezed each day in 2024. Not sure if this is a big ask, but does anyone have a backlog of data, ideally daily in ppm for tree, grass, and weed pollen for 2024? Anything would be helpful. Data for Minneapolis would be fine too.
Thanks, AM
PurpleAir sensors do not measure pollen.
From Minnesota Dept. of Health:
Note: Due to limitations in collection resources and impacts of the COVID pandemic, there is very limited pollen data collected for 2021 and pollen was not collected in 2022. As of 2022, no more pollen data is being collected in Minnesota. For more information on pollen, mold and other allergens, and how to manage allergy symptoms go to National Allergy Bureau.
Check with local air quality agencies and see if they have any data or know any agencies locally collecting such data.
Unfortunately the state hasn’t been collecting pollen data since 2020 (very frustrating!), and it’s surprisingly difficult to find anybody who actually does. Thanks for responding though.
