Air Quality Awareness

Did you know that today falls under Air Quality Awareness week? The US Environmental Protection Agency and the CDC have teamed together to make Americans more aware of the air they breath the week of April 30-May 4, 2012. Information about Air Quality Awareness week can be found HERE. Air pollution can severely affect many people in our population, especially those inflicted with asthma. Asthma has become more common in the US, with over 25 million asthma patients diagnosed today. Children are more susceptible to air pollutants. Any change that you can make will help our air quality, even as simple as carpooling once a week. Millions of americans will thank you for your change in daily activity.
