Asthma and air pollution

January 23, 2018

Air pollution makes the air unhealthy — a particularly serious problem for people with asthma. The American Academy of Family Physicians says you should talk with your doctor about:

-- Symptoms of exposure to air pollution, which could include chest pain and coughing.

-- Long-term medication to manage asthma.

-- Whether you are more sensitive to polluted air than the average person.
