No winner this week. Here is the question again. On average how much pollen is released into the atmosphere in the United States each year? Here is the answer.  Each year American vegetation spews forth some two billion pounds of pollen into the air we breathe. That’s roughly ten pounds of pollen per sneezing, wheezing, and sniffing human in the U.S..  Another weekly quiz question will start next Monday. The first person to post the correct answer will win one free week of personalized forecasts tailored to your needs.
