I think anything over 150 parts per cubic meter is dangerous and we recorded 5,937 today. Running is fun.

I was there over the weekend for the ING marathon, it was BAD! Every car in the state looks like it's painted yellow!
I'm glad I don't have allergies. It's been around 2500 for several days but today was supposedly the worst this century. to me it's just annoying. I have washed my car off a couple times this week but it just keeps getting green. I've seen some cars that haven't gotten cleaned at all and they look really bad.
yea if you thought it was bad this past weekend at the ING you should see it now. the street in my neighborhood is literally green. 5937 was our pollen count today...and they say over 120 is extremely high.
weather channel lists many areas as having VERY HIGH pollen counts right now
5937 is close to the all-time record set in 1999. I was driving in from the airport looking at downtown, and the entire skyline looked yellow-green, and extremely hazy.
From where I am, even the clouds are looking a little yellowish.
A new pollen record for March

Atlanta's pollen count set a record for March on Thursday, but there could be relief, as forecasters are predicting a 50-50 chance of rain over the weekend.
Thursday's reading was the third above 5,000 this week. Measurements above 120 are considered "extremely high."
The count of 5,937 particles of pollen per cubic meter of air is surpassed only by the 6,013 measure recorded April 12, 1999, according to the Atlanta Allergy & Asthma Clinic.
Atlanta's pollen levels normally peak around the second week of April.
Major pollens present Thursday were pine, oak, sweet gum, birch, sycamore and beech.
The pollen-laden air could soon get a cleansing by the best chance of rain in several days.
The National Weather Service said there is a 20 percent chance of showers later Thursday and tonight, with the risk of rain increasing over the weekend.
Friday and Saturday will be mostly cloudy and cooler, with highs in the mid-60s on Friday and low 70s on Saturday, the Weather Service said.
A 30 percent chance of rain is predicted for Saturday night, increasing to 50 percent on Sunday, forecasters said.
