I don't want to get too far off topic
but yes! Pollen has a huge health and economic impact. It's not the highly-visible yellow pine pollen though - that's too big to cause respiratory health problems. Rather, species like oak, birch, and ragweed are big problems in Atlanta. There's a whole industry around it, and highly allergic people have to go in and get shots every week during spring.
