Common Problems with the air in Jacksonville

Pollen

With a rapid loss of bees in the population and the close distance to much of Florida’s farmland, there is a higher output of pollen than in most of the mainland United States.

Allergens

Besides pollen, the metropolitan area has a surplus of materials and molecules that can cause allergic reactions in its residents.

Debris, Dust, Fungal Spores

Finally, debris, dust, and fungal spores. Most of the buildings in Jacksonville go through renovations and are constantly updated from the old days. With that, there are often a lot of these materials being thrown around the city and without the proper filters, going straight into your respiratory system.
