Air Time: Focus is on healthy air

By Seth Preston, Communications Manager, Air Quality Program

This is national Air Quality Awareness Week (April 30-May 6, 2012), which highlights efforts to improve and protect the air we all breathe.

Air quality affects our health, as well as the health of our families and neighbors. It also impacts the health of the environment and the overall quality of life in our communities.

This Ecology news release talks more about the importance of air quality and details how all of us can take individual actions to improve the air.

And you can watch this Ecology video, which details one of the biggest, most common threats to air quality and health in Washington – fine particle pollution.
