May is Asthma Awareness Month when numerous organizations and government agencies help increase public awareness of asthma and its impact on our communities. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) asthma affects approximately 23 million people in the United States.
To help educate the public about the dangers of asthma and how we can all help prevent common triggers the EPA has made available an event planning kit that can be found at http://www.epa.gov/
The kit also includes a wealth of helpful information including ten ways to manage asthma in school environments:
1. Use the IAQ Tools for Schools Kit
2. Control Animal Allergens
3. Control Cockroach Allergens
4. Clean Up Mold and Control Moisture
5. Eliminate Secondhand Smoke
6. Reduce Dust Mite Exposure
7. Develop an Asthma Management Plan
8. Provide School-Based Asthma Education Programs
9. Reduce School Bus Diesel Exhaust
10. Gather Additional Asthma Resources
Paul Cochrane, the founder of the IAQ industry’s only dedicated marketing and public relations firm, Cochrane & Associates, has dedicated the firm to helping companies that protect the environment and the air we breathe. “Reducing asthma triggers is something we can all be aware of to help the millions who suffer from the condition,” reported Paul Cochrane. “Asthma doesn’t just restrict people’s lives; tragically it can also end lives so it is imperative that people understand asthma triggers and ways to prevent or minimize exposure.”
