When allergy reporting changes real decisions.
When local stations deploy APS400 sensors and report what they measure, allergy sufferers get accurate hyperlocal data—on air, on station sites, and in apps like Pollen Wise.
Customer testimonials
I live within 3 miles of the KVUE station and it has been my go to source. ... I credit their sensor for helping me pinpoint a new allergy in late November, 2025. I have been fighting increased allergies over the past few years, trying different things like quiting coloring my hair (a MAJOR decision), eliminating certain creams, etc.
Then in November, already dealing with major allergy symptoms, I realized that KVUE's consistent reporting on Mold with alternaria and my shady, mulch and grassy yard may be to blame. I got tested for Alternaria and it was the culprit. So many thanks to KVUE for their sensor and their reporting on where the sensor is located. It has been truly useful to me in avoiding high pollen days, especially when it's windy.
PS I just downloaded your app !

Newsroom Workflow
From the sensor network to the weather desk.
A weather team needs more than an allergy number. Pollen Sense packages real measurements into the surfaces meteorologists use to explain what changed, why it matters, and what viewers can do next.
APS400 overview: real-time allergen data for meteorologists and broadcast teams
1
Measure
APS400 sensors sample the air continuously.
Field-deployed sensors capture pollen, mold, dust, smoke, and other airborne particles so your allergy coverage starts from physical measurements instead of stale regional estimates.2
Classify
AI identifies particles while the weather story is still unfolding.
Pollen Sense turns microscope imagery into structured allergen data that can be mapped, trended, and paired with forecast context throughout the day.3

Frequently asked questions for meteorologists
What is the Pollen Sense APS400 sensor and how do meteorologists use it on air?
The APS400 is an automated airborne particle sensor that continuously samples air and uses machine vision to identify pollen, mold spores, dust, smoke-related particulates, and other bioaerosols. TV meteorologists and weather producers pair APS400 ground truth with radar and temperature to explain allergy spikes, air quality shifts, and hyperlocal differences during cedar, grass, ragweed, and tree pollen season.
How is real-time pollen data different from traditional pollen counts for broadcast?
Traditional pollen counts are often delayed manual samples. APS400-class automated pollen monitoring delivers hourly and intraday resolution so your newscast can reference what is in the air now—not yesterday’s average. That helps answer-engine queries about “pollen today,” “mold levels near me,” and “is it safe to be outside” with measurement-backed language.
Can our station website or app show the same allergen story as the green screen?
Yes. Pollen Sense exposes forecast-ready APIs, charts, and embeddable web components such as AllergenKit so digital teams can mirror on-air allergy messaging on station sites, OTT apps, and partner pages. Consistent pollen, mold, and particulate data across broadcast and digital improves SEO for local allergy coverage and reduces viewer confusion.
What does “hyperlocal pollen monitoring” mean for a DMA or county?
Hyperlocal means measurements tied to a specific sensor site rather than a blended regional model. A network of APS400 devices lets meteorologists show when one part of the market is spiking while another stays moderate—critical for school districts, outdoor events, and public health explainers during peak pollen weeks.
How do APS400 sensors support allergy season maps and misery-index style visuals?
APS400 outputs structured particle categories and concentrations that feed maps, heat layers, and trend graphics. Meteorologists can anchor “worst cities” or regional allergy stories to live sensor coverage instead of stale proxies, which strengthens credibility when audiences compare markets during spring and fall pollen peaks.
Where can engineering and field teams find APS400 mounting, Wi-Fi, and cartridge guidance?
Pollen Sense publishes sensor support documentation for deployment, connectivity, media cartridges, troubleshooting, and maintenance. Newsrooms and agency partners use those articles to keep automated pollen sensors online through peak allergy season.
Does Pollen Sense offer pollen and allergen APIs for forecast integrations?
Yes. Pollen Sense provides data products and APIs designed for operational forecasting, dashboards, and research workflows. Meteorology teams integrate APS400-backed feeds alongside existing weather and air quality stacks for a single allergy narrative across platforms.
Who should meteorologists contact to evaluate APS400 for their market?
Use the Pollen Sense contact form to request a demo, discuss coverage in your DMA, and review data documentation. A solutions conversation typically covers site selection, broadcast and digital use cases, and how automated pollen sensing fits your existing weather workflow.
