“With more detailed data on which tree species are most allergenic and when they release pollen, urban planners can make smarter decisions about what to plant and where,” said Behnaz Balmaki, assistant professor of research in biology at UT Arlington and coauthor of a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Big Data with Masoud Rostami from the Division of Data Science at UTA. “This is especially important in high-traffic areas like schools, hospitals, parks and neighborhoods. Health services could also use this information to better time allergy alerts, public health messaging and treatment recommendations during peak pollen seasons.”
