RE: Re: AIR QUALITY POISON AT WORK

[Guest guest]

A busy night for all of us, sorry Terry for the Tornado ... well my asthma is getting increasingly worse, getting ready for bed and I have a ton of anxiety, I used the nebulizer for the first time and it worked great but my medicine started to wear off. This attack was pretty intense, the clearer my lungs get the more intense I can feel the asthma it is kinda violently freaky. anyways guess I am scared right now I will get over it, I will say a prayer this evening. I am going to try to rid me of my anxieties this evening and go to sleep .... hope everyone finds peace.

More studies don't get done unless WE WITH ASTHMA MAKE ENOUGH STINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!! It's a shame it come to that but it's so true!

It could very well be. In the last 2 or 3 years there have beenseveral studies published, and there is a long guideline at theosha.gov website (although it is a bit hard to find - like everythingelse at that site). Osha also lists it on their most hazardous list.It only takes something like 4 parts per million to cause irritationand minor tissue damage. I can't remember exactly off the top of myhead, but it is a ridiculously small amount. I can't believe moreeducation is not being done about it. That is why in the last year ortwo all of the major cities are reporting "high ozone days" and thingslike that.Madeline> > > >> > > > Hi Lou,> > > >> > > > You mentioned reading an article about why doctors don't take> >
