No family should have to relocate to breathe clean air but thats exactly what my family had to do in order to gain better asthma control. We made a drastic 700 mile move so our 3 asthmatic children could have a better quality of life. Today, their lung functions are normal and we succeeded in gaining asthma control! The city we moved from, 7 years ago, is still ranked as one of the "Most Polluted Cities" according to the American Lung Asociation's 2014 State Of The Air report www.stateoftheair.org However, not all people are able to relocate in order to escape poor air quality and thats why studies like this one are so important. It shows how YOUR state's air quality will benefit from The Clean Power Plan. Please leave a comment by December 1st to show your support of The Clean Power Plan by visiting http://www2.epa.gov/carbon-pollution-standards/how-comment-clean-power-plan-proposed-rule because no family should have to relocate to breathe clean air!
