• Check daily air pollution forecasts in your area. The color-coded forecasts can let you know when the air is unhealthy in your community.

• Avoid exercising outdoors when pollution levels are high. Always avoid exercising near high-traffic areas.

• Use less energy in your home. Generating electricity and other sources of energy creates air pollution. By reducing energy use, you can help improve air quality, curb greenhouse gas emissions, encourage energy independence and save money.
