May is Asthma Awareness Month

An estimated 25.7 million people, including approximately 7.1 million children, have asthma and almost 13 million people report having an asthma attack in the past year. Asthma accounts for over 15 million physician office and hospital visits, and nearly 2 million emergency department visits each year.

Asthma can start at any age, and although there is no cure for asthma, it can be managed so people with the disease can live a normal, healthy life.  The most important steps that people can take is to eliminate or reduce asthma triggers.  The easiest & most cost effective way to accomplish this is through Ventilation.  

To learn more about how to manage asthma and asthma triggers, both the American Lung Association & the Environmental Protection Association have sites dedicated to helping people with asthma.
