Did you know the ozone you breathe in the air can actually cause redness and swelling on
the surface of your lung airways, that is much like a sunburn on the skin? Particles in the air
can lodge in your lungs and cause serious damage. Did you know you can protect your
health daily from this kind of air pollution?
Now you can.
The Air Quality Index gives you good, local forecast information. It lets you guard your
health and your family's health.
Here's how it works:
Anytime you hear the Air Quality Index forecasts is at levels Orange, Red or Purple, you
know the air quality is potentially unhealthy. You can cut your exposure - either by reducing
the time you spend exercising or by making your exercise less intense.
For example, you can take a walk instead of a jog when the Air Quality Index is forecast to
be at unhealthy levels. You can also plan strenuous outdoor activities when air quality
levels are better.

Heart disease claims millions of lives.
Asthma impairs the health of so many children and adults.
Air pollution, especially particles, aggravates heart disease and lung disease. In fact, it
can be deadly for some people. And it can be damaging for older adults, and children.
Particle pollution tracking and Air Quality Index forecasts are now available every day
throughout the year. It's one of the most effective ways for you to manage your health
year-round.
The Air Quality Index is now a "forecast to breathe by."

Air pollution can affect everyone. And it's especially important if you have heart or lung
disease, such as asthma, are an older adult, are a child, or if you spend a lot of time at
outdoor physical activities.
That's why the expanded Air Quality Index forecasts are so important. Daily forecasts for
particle pollution are available year-round. Until now, air quality forecasts have been
available primarily for ozone during the summer months.
Air quality forecasts give us information to help plan our daily activities and, most
importantly, to protect our health - and the health of our families.

stations, and newspapers, and at this Web site at: www.epa.gov/airnow.
