Auckland residents may have noticed green dust gathering on their cars or outdoor tables, but not to worry, it's just pollen, Auckland Council says.
For the past five days, Papatoetoe resident Shalesh Lal has noticed a green dusting covering his three cars parked outside his home on Kimpton Rd.
"I called my mate who stays in Manukau Heights and he said he had the same problem."
Lal was especially worried as he has a young child.
"I have a baby at home... it could be hazardous."
