Pollen

Biological Hazards

Dangers

This is a term that people in the medical field use to relate to hay fever and allergies that only come up in certain seasons. Rhinitis can worsen and cause asthma problems which include sinus problems. 

This type of danger usually causes common side effects with seasonal changes such as runny nose, itchy nose, sneezing, and itchy and watery eyes.

Some examples of allergic conjunctivitis include red, watery, or itchy eyes due to pollen exposure.

The weather can affect the amount of pollen that is emitted through the air. Whether it’s cold, warm, or cold, the difference can make a person’s asthma act up really high or really low.
