About This Event

Air pollution can increase anyone’s risk of heart disease, stroke, respiratory infections, and more. But it is especially dangerous for those with lung diseases such as asthma. Air quality changes from day to day, but events like wildfires and environmental disasters can make it much worse. Join a panel of University of Michigan Health experts to discuss the impact of air quality on our health. Learn steps you can take to minimize its effects.

Note: RSVPs are required. You will receive a confirmation email and link to the webinar on the morning of the event, June 13, 2024.
