Outdoor Air Quality

Poor air quality outside can harm health. Air pollution has been linked to many health problems, including asthma and heart disease. Two types of air pollution are ozone and particle pollution. Ozone is the main ingredient in smog or haze. People with lung disease, children, older adults, and people who are active outdoors can be affected when ozone levels are unhealthy. Tiny bits of dust, dirt, ash, and other materials can float in the air, where people may breathe them in. These are called "particulate matter" or PM. Breathing in these tiny materials can cause heart and lung problems.
