pollution can be triggered by factors all around us, including dust,

pet dander, mold/mildew, pollen and tobacco smoke. Microscopic

particulates can be inhaled deep into the lungs, posing potential

health risks for even healthy adults and children.

concentration in school children.

triggered by either indoor or outdoor air pollution) accounts for an

estimated three million lost workdays for adults and 10.1 million lost

school days for children each year. Asthma costs our nation $16.1

billion in health care costs annually.
