Great city, but terrible for allergy sufferers

I have been living here for over a year. It is a great city and the people here are wonderful. The only problem that the city has is poor air quality due in part to high pollen counts. In the spring it is not uncommon to see people in the emergency room with asthma related problems caused by allergens in the air. Prior moving here I had mild allergies; however, after I moved here I have had severe allergies every spring with frequent trips to the emergency room. If you are considering moving here don't forget to take in consideration the air quality. You need clean air to breathe. I found airnow.gov helpful to help me monitor the air quality especially if I plan on spending alot of time outdoors. In addition, I have found pollen.com helpful to monitor the pollen counts.
