  I think that the trouble with pollen (from the trees) is mostly allergies. However, it seems to me that allergies are much more frequent nowadays than they were in the past, and mostly concentrated in the cities. There's a study [1] linking allergies and asthma with pollution. > Strong epidemiological evidence supports a relationship between air pollution and the exacerbation of asthma and other respiratory diseases. Recent studies have suggested that air pollutants play a role in the development of asthma and allergies. So maybe more trees IS the solution, even though it would seem they're the problem?
