Allergy Exposure Risk Calculator
Allergy Exposure Risk Calculator estimates your risk of allergy symptoms based on environmental triggers. Enter pollen exposure, indoor air quality, pet dander exposure, and dust mite control for a risk level and recommendations to reduce symptoms.

Methodology Used in Allergy Exposure Risk Calculator
The calculator estimates risk using:
1. Risk Score: \\( S = W_p \cdot S_p + W_a \cdot S_a + W_d \cdot S_d + W_m \cdot S_m \\)
2. Level: Low (\\( S \leq 4 \\)), Moderate (4 < \\( S \leq 8 \\)), High (\\( S > 8 \\))
Where:
- \\( S_p \\): Pollen exposure score (<1h: 0, 1–3h: 2, >3h: 4)
- \\( S_a \\): Air quality score (good: 0, fair: 1, poor: 2)
- \\( S_d \\): Pet dander score (<1h: 0, 1–2h: 1, >2h: 2)
- \\( S_m \\): Dust mite score (high: 0, moderate: 1, low: 2)
- \\( W \\): Weights (1–2, varies by factor)
Reflects impact of environmental triggers on allergy risk.
Example Calculation
Sample Input
Pollen Exposure = 2 hours, Indoor Air Quality = Fair, Pet Dander = 1 hour, Dust Mite Control = Moderate
Step 1: Scores: \\( S_p = 2 \\), \\( S_a = 1 \\), \\( S_d = 1 \\), \\( S_m = 1 \\)
Step 2: Total: \\( S = 2 \cdot 2 + 1 \cdot 1 + 1 \cdot 1 + 1 \cdot 1 = 7 \\)
Result: Risk Level = Moderate.
