Breathe Easy

Poor air quality negatively impacts our health, the environment, and economies. 

Tiny particles enter our bodies and can cause pneumonia, asthma, heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer. 

Did you know?

According to the World Health Organization, air pollution is one of the largest environmental risks to human health. Air pollution is estimated to cause 7 million premature deaths every year worldwide. Air pollution can cause illnesses that affect our whole body, not just our lungs. Children, older people, and those with existing health conditions are most severely affected by polluted air.
