Asthma and air quality Continued from page 1B comes, air quality is also important in maintaining proper asthma control. What is air quality? Asthma arises from a chronic inflamraation of the pas sageways in the lungs. When inflammation occurs, these air ways become narrower, making it more difficult for the person to breathe. Allergens and pollutants in the air can cause inflammation, thus triggering an asthma attack. In 1999, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) devel oped the “Air Quality Index.” This number is an indicator of outdoor air quality and. when interpreted, can inform peo ple regarding how this air quality will affect their day-to-day lives. The index ranges from 0-300, where 0 is the best pos sible air quality and 300 is the worst. It is especially impor tant for people living with asthma to pay attention to the Air Quality Index and to take any necessary precautions to prevent asthma exacerbations. According to the EPA, the air quality levels and precau- • tions are as follows: 0-50: Air quality is good; there are no precautions neces sary for the general public. 51-100: Air quality is moderate; unusually sensitive peo ple or the immunocompromised should limit time spent outdoors. 101-150: Air quality unhealthy for sensitive groups;‘chil- dren and adults with respiratory disease (including asthma) or cardiovascular disease should limit outdoor time. 151-200: Air quality is unhealthy; everyone should limit outdoor exertion, as this level can cause respiratory effects in the general population. 201-300: Air quality is very unhealthy: increasing the like lihood of respiratory effects in the general population. 301-(-: Air quality is hazardous; severe respiratory effects can be caused in the general population. Everyone should avoid exertion outdoors. What about indoor air quality? In addition to outdoor environmental hazards, there are hazards indoors in the workplace, schools, and home that can induce asthma attacks and other negative respiratory effects. Common workplace allergens include chemicals used in laboratories, pesticides, asbestos, animal proteins, some plants, tobacco smoke, dust mites, and latex. Accord ing to the CDC, negative health consequences from these substances can be prevented by using proper ventilation systems, eliminating overcrowding in office and lab spaces, and using protective clothing such as masks, gloves, and gowns.
