Increases in Asthma in the United States are the result of increases in outdoor air pollution. Do you think this is true? Tally of current responses: Yes 68.7% No 31.3% Not True. Because outdoor air pollution has consistently dropped it can not be a reason U.S. asthma cases are on the rise. Americans have made major progress improving air quality. Here are several examples * Since 1970, Americans have cut releases of air pollutants by more than 50 million tons. If you put that many tons into dump trucks lined up bumper to bumper, they would stretch from Baltimore to Dallas the long way -- around the world! * It would take 20 of today's new cars to generate the same amount of pollution as one mid-1960s model car. In another 10 years, thanks to new automotive and fuel technologies, it will take 33 cars to produce the emissions of one mid-1960s model. * Compared with just 10 years ago, America's largest cities are recording dramatically fewer days on which air quality exceeds federal standards. * One major pollutant, lead, is nearly gone from our air. Since the mid-1970s, levels of airborne lead are down 96 percent. Despite these achievements, there's still room for improvement. Everyone can help make a difference in this effort.
