Why Allergies Are Worse in Kenosha
Kenosha's position at the Wisconsin–Illinois border on Lake Michigan combines Chicago-metro air quality issues with lake-effect humidity and agricultural ragweed.
Chicago-Metro Ozone Corridor
Kenosha sits at the northern edge of the Chicago ozone corridor, where ground-level ozone and PM2.5 interact with pollen to amplify allergic airway inflammation.
Lake Michigan Shore Humidity
Persistent lake-effect humidity along Kenosha's lakefront sustains elevated outdoor mold counts from midsummer through fall.
Agricultural Ragweed Belt
Kenosha County's surrounding farmland and disturbed soils produce heavy ragweed pollen that drifts into the city on westerly winds during fall.
