Pollution
As our population grows, our air gets worse. More development, more people, more cars, more concrete means more problems with our air. Without a lot of rain or wind, the pollutants tend to just hang around in metropolitan areas, making it uncomfortable for many residents who are sensitive to it. Eye irritation, runny nose, sore throat, coughing, and shortness of breath may result on days when pollution in the area is bad. People with asthma and other respiratory illnesses are especially at risk on those days.



The most common air pollutants that we have nationwide are usually nitrogen oxides, ozone, carbon monoxide and particulates. Cars account for most of the problem, and that pollution is worse in the winter when cold air traps the pollution.

If you have allergic reactions to higher levels of pollution, you may experience coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and/or fatigue.


Prevention:

Limit outdoor activity on air pollution advisory days.
The very young and very old should stay inside on air pollution advisory days.
Don't participate in strenuous activity on those days.
Filters and room air cleaners can help reduce indoor particle levels.
Don't smoke, and if you do, don't do it in the house.
Don't burn wood in your fireplace.
Try not to drive on unpaved roads. If you have to, close your vents and turn on the a/c to reduce the amount of dust coming into the vehicle.

You can do your part to reduce global warming by staying “Green.” There are many initiatives by our government, many specialty stores that sell green products, and plenty of choices for hybrid vehicles to help reduce polution. Support a Green Initiative to help control your allergies and the next generation of people across the world.
