The presence of different strains of grass pollen in the atmosphere can help predict when hay fever and asthma could strike, according to a study. The research tracked grass pollen for seasonal variations and found it was released into the atmosphere later in areas further from the equator. Advertising“That tells us that that grass pollen exposure changes substantially across the allergy season,” Osborne said in a statement. Scientists hope to expand on the research to create a unique profile of each grass pollen species to determine the most harmful strains. “We hope to use this data to examine if particular grass species are more allergenic than others,” Osborne said.
