Why Is Indoor Air Quality Important?
Indoor air quality is an important factor in asthma management. Asthma is a chronic condition that is made worse by poor indoor and outdoor air quality.
Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous Americans already bear the disproportionate burden of asthma in the United States.
School children with asthma are greatly affected by poor indoor air quality too. Indoor air quality in schools can impact childrenβs health and how well they perform in school. Asthma is the leading cause of missed school days, and children with severe asthma are more likely to perform poorly in school. All children deserve safe and healthy environments in which to grow and learn.
The quality of the environment around us has a direct impact on our health and the health of future generations. We have an obligation to preserve clean air for the health and well-being of all Americans, but especially for the most vulnerable like children with asthma and allergies. Join AAFA during this live stream to show your support for improving the quality of life for people with asthma.
