Asthma Outreach and Education Clean Air Council is currently
working in medically under-served communities of Philadelphia to
educate asthma patients of all ages, parents, and health care
professionals about indoor and outdoor environmental asthma
triggers. Asthma is a chronic condition of the lungs that makes
people more sensitive to air pollution. Asthma is caused by
genetics and exposure to pollution, allergens, and toxins found
in indoor and outdoor air. The Council provides information on
basic asthma health, air pollution and health, indoor air
quality checklists, and the tools available for reducing
pollution in your community. The Council has materials created
especially for eduacting children, including an interactive
asthma triggers game and coloring books. The Council also works
to connect community members with free or low-cost health and
asthma management services throughout the city. In addition to
offering materials, the Council can also provide your community
group or health care organization
