"State and local air quality forecasters use this information as another
tool in issuing next-day alerts for poor air quality to more than 300
communities, " said Paula Davidson, program manager for air quality forecasting
with NOAA's National Weather Service . But for the 20 million children
in the United States suffering from asthma, it's important that parents not
let their child's asthma management take a vacation as well."
Whether it's swimming at the local pool, heading off to summer camp or
playing in the backyard, the AAAAI offers the following asthma tips to help
parents manage their child's asthma:
