Smoke, dust, ozone and other air pollutants can be hazardous to your health. That’s especially true if you have a chronic condition such as asthma.

The American Academy of Family Physicians explains air pollution can cause:

• Irritation to the lungs, throat and eyes.
• A burning sensation of the eyes.
• Coughing and a tightness in the chest.
• Children may have more frequent episodes of bronchitis and ear pain.
