Though the CDC Heat Risk Forecast indicates minor risk today, and little to none for the rest of the week, NJ pollen forecasts indicate tree pollen counts will be high for the next several days. It doesn’t take much outdoor work to see, and feel, the amount of pollen in the air.
Working in these conditions can be uncomfortable with that combination of heat and pollen, and risky for those with respiratory health problems and/or allergies. Those KN-95 masks used for COVID-19 prevention can reduce the discomfort of working in high pollen and other dusty conditions, so keep a supply on hand for all your workers.
