Video: "Asthma in the Air"

How can you tell if the air outdoors is polluted? Kids with asthma say that playing and breathing outside on smoggy days "feels like being inside of a dog's mouth--sweaty and sticky and yucky and wet."

On this video, kids with asthma speak out about how air pollution, especially ground-level ozone (smog), feels to them. They tell how they care for their health and work to solve air pollution problems in their communities.

With its lively soundtrack and energetic pace, Asthma in the Air is a great resource for classrooms and health education programs. The video speaks specifically to kids with asthma, but the message is universal: "When everybody does their part, it all adds up to cleaner air."

This video was developed and produced by the Sixteenth Street Community Health Center Child Health Champion Project, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Funded in part by a grant from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
