Hi! 

There is a relationship that has been studied. I believe some results are 
somewhere in the volumes of wonderful stuff on Terry's site. The immediate 
problem with any formula, is that it varies with temperature, humidity, air 
pressure, pollution level, air movement, pollen count etc. Others may have a 
more definite answer.
