Chest health - People with respiratory issues should limit outdoor activity 


People with respiratory issues should limit outdoor activity 
Those who have difficulty breathing due to asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or other respiratory issues should stay indoors as much as possible while smoke lingers in the air from area fires.

Air quality alerts issued; heat wave blamed

Bad-air days now may come back to haunt us in '08 
Blame it on the weather. Blame it on the crowded freeways. Blame it on Houston. But no matter who's at fault, the San Antonio area is a big step closer to an unwanted spot on the nation's bad air list.
