Regular physical activity — at least 60 minutes each day — promotes health and fitness, but outdoor activity should be modified based on air quality, especially for children who are more susceptible to the effects of pollution.

Air pollution can make asthma symptoms worse and trigger attacks. Symptoms of asthma include coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing and chest tightness.
