According to the American Lung Association the greater Birmingham area has the worst air quality in the south, and some of the worst air quality in the country. Poor air quality is not healthy for anyone, but especially for children, since their lungs are still developing. If a child already has an existing respiratory condition such as asthma, bad air can become downright dangerous.
Alabama First is a new organization working to bring attention to the public health problems associated with poor air quality. If your child is suffering from a respiratory condition and you are interested in helping to make a difference to improve our air, they want to hear your story.
