"Pollen filters" are fitted in car heating systems. 2 questions:-

1 Do they actually do what they say, catch the pollen?

2) Can you brush/shake/back-blow such a filter to get the pollen out
*still alive* and able to fertilise?

1. Possibly
2. how would you know what pollen you had? It could be anything and
everything.


Under a microscope you can tell them apart; there are photos on the
web to help you with this. Pollen caught by filtration WILL be
anything, but pollen will only fertilise the same species.
