The Air Quality Index (AQI) provides a daily score for air quality, based on the amount of pollution in the air. The Air Quality Index range runs from 0 to 500: the higher the score, the higher the air pollution, posing an increased risk to public health -- especially to sensitive populations like asthmatics.
Watch Dr. Marks-Cogan on ABC-7 News explain how air quality affects those with asthma and what to do to prevent any asthma flare-ups.

My wife has had asthma ever since she was a little girl. I completely agree with this video that air quality really affects the quality of your life. We live in Utah, and there is quite a bit of inversion here in the city. There are some days that her asthma starts acting up after only a couple of minutes of her being outside. http://regionalallergycenter.com/
