your home, you can make these changes to improve the quality of the air you breathe:
• Run the bathroom fan after showers and use the kitchen fan while cooking to control moisture and other air pollutants.
• Use vacuums with good filtration, such as a HEPA filter.
• Properly store food and other items that attract pests.
• Make your home (and vehicle) smoke-free.
Additional actions you can take include improving ven- tilation, maintaining HVAC systems and using integrat- ed pest management. If you rent, some of these solutions would be the responsibility of the landlord. Learn more about how to improve the in- door air quality of your home as a tenant by reviewing the guide developed by the
Evironmental Law Institute found at eli.org.
3. TAKING ACTION FOR CHILDREN
Children’s respiratory systems are still devel- oping, making them par- ticularly vulnerable to air pollution. However, 95% of American school buses are diesel-powered. To learn more about how to advocate for your school district to modify older diesel school buses or transition to zero-emission electric school buses, visit lung.org.
4. HEALTHIER WORKPLACES
About 1 in six cases of adult-onset asthma can be linked to the individual’s occupation and about one in five adults with asthma experience worsening of symptoms because of where they work. Missed workdays and lost worker productivity due to asthma can be costly for individuals who live with asthma and employers. By establishing lung-friendly workplace policies and offering an em- ployee asthma education program, employers can help employees and fam- ily members with asthma better manage their condi- tions and experience fewer symptoms. If you have asthma or are a caregiver for someone with asthma, consider speaking to your employer about instituting
policies that promote a safe, healthy workplace.
5. ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Na- tional Asthma Control Pro- gram developed “EXHALE” a set of six strategies that help contribute to better asthma control. The strategies can help you and your loved ones have fewer asthma symp- toms, prevent emergency visits to the hospital and help you avoid missing school or work. To learn the strategies and for additional resources, visit cdc.gov. You can also check out the range of asth- ma programs and initiatives offered by the American Lung Association that align with the EXHALE strategies
by visiting lung.org/afe.
