Is outdoor exercise in reasonable weather good for the asthmatic if there is air pollution? Should asthmatics work on cardiovascular health year-round?

Good cardiopulmonary conditioning for asthmatics is great and helpful for daily function. Note that this is also true for general good health. Read more about cold-weather activities and asthma.
