UM Pollen Station at CEHS

The University of Montana’s Center for Environmental Health Sciences operates the only certified pollen count station in the Northern Rocky Mountains. Sampling is conducted every day from March through October using a Burkard 7-day pollen and spore sampler located on the roof of the Skaggs Pharmacy building. The counts are reported to the National Allergy Bureau three times per week and displayed on their website.
