Friday's Comments

Unfortunately, the pollen collector appears to not be correctly calibrated. Not sure when this can be fixed but I don't believe that there will be any more pollen reports this fall. I do apologize for this inconvenience. Hopefully the bugs can be fixed over the winter so that the device will be ready to go for the spring allergy season. -- Jay M. Portnoy, MD

Laser particle counts are the number of particles per cubic meter divided into 6 different size ranges. A laser beam literally counts the number of such particles as they are sucked past a detector. There is evidence that increased numbers of particles, particularly in the smaller ranges, are associated with heart diseases. That is why we measure it.
