What can people do to clean up the air and protect themselves from air pollution?
A. Take steps to clean up the air in your community and to protect your family: drive less; walk, bike, carpool or take transit. Don’t burn wood or trash. Make sure your local school system uses clean school buses. Use less electricity. Don’t exercise on high pollution days and don’t ever exercise near busy freeways.
