With your help, the American Lung Association is working tirelessly to reduce ozone pollution, power plant emissions and vehicle emissions.

The Lung Association is committed to educating the public about the dangers of air pollution and working with policymakers to create legislation that will improve air quality for all.
Your support enables the American Lung Association to provide practical guidance on lung health, like this video which describes how indoor air quality impacts your lungs, and provides tips for improving the indoor air quality in your home.
