For years the EPA has been saying the air inside our homes and offices can be more polluted than the air outside the front door. This is very true because of how tight they are and all the various chemicals we use day to day.

That being said, people with asthma need to be aware of all the "stuff" outside that can hurt them. Man-made air pollution comes from cars, trucks, industries and other sources of burning fuels. During the summer months when it is very hot, lots of sunlight and low winds something called a smog cloud is created. In some places like LA it literally looks like fog. Not a day goes by that we don't hear something about the ozone level or layer.

In our paper we have an ozone chart what the ozone level for the day will be. In South Florida most days are good or mild. We have the ocean breeze that keeps the ozone levels down. It is important that you monitor your daily ozone levels. People with asthma need to stay in air conditioned spaces when the levels are high.

FYI... If someone tries to sell you an air purifier that they say stops harmful ozone and hangs around you neck .. RUN...

Wishing you the best of health
