Air Quality

Hi all,

The American Lung Association just came out with their air quality report. It's called 'State of the Air' and you can check out the air quality for where you live.

I was wondering if anybody has felt any different living in a clean air area versus a dirty air environment?

I personally moved from an area with great air - A rated-  to and F rated area and four years after living in the F rated area, I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis. Of course this could have happened anyways, but the more I read about air quality, I think that the bad air does affect us in many ways.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Ida

      Hi Peter,

      Yeah, it's a bit scary how much the bad air is making us sick.

      My dad was a farmer and he developed Parkinsons disease from all the chemicals he dealt with in the fields.

      Anyways, try to stay away from the busy roads.
