This is a big problem. I know lots of kids with asthma and elderly folks with respiratory illness aggrivated by the poor quality of air here. It is the major thing that would convince me to retire elsewhere.

Here's some basic information from the Lung Association.

We can help ourselves to a certain extent, but we need Pitts and Specter fighting for smokestack scrubbers on power plants!

I wish LNP reporters would learn to read. There are two long-term particle ranking lists, and we rand 12th and 14th respectively. There is a series of rather obvious typos where rank #'s are repeated. Duh.

Still, it rings kinda weird on the ears to say "Well we're moving to Camden to take advantage of the cleaner air"

What kind of liberal hog wash is this cough cough hack the air is fine cough cough this is just the Liberals way of tring to make you feel bad for driving your SUVs cough cough hack, in fact I hear pollution is good for you cough cough yup this is just like global warming it's not real it's just the drive by media you know cough cough hack............

I quit smoking after 18 years on November 15 2006 April 12 2007 I was told I have asthma by my Doctor so I guess the question is what's going to kill you faster smoking or breathing kind of a trick question aint it ?
