Parthenium (Parthenium hysterophorus) is common in open ground along the Mithi River banks.

High humidity and sea breezes from the Arabian Sea move pollen inland; the Tulsi and Vihar Lake areas are reservoirs for airborne particles. The monsoon season has high Mould (Aspergillus, Penicillium) counts; spores are in damp masonry and decaying vegetation across coastal areas.
