POLLEN COUNT SOARS--A gust of air causes a small male cone to release massive amounts of very fine pine pollen on a tree in Newborn with the Atlanta area pollen count of 8,164 particles of pollen per cubic meter of air shattering the previous record by 35 percent on Monday, March 19, 2012. Oak, pine and sweetgum are the main pollens. Curtis Compton ccompton@ajc.com
