Stay informed about air quality by checking the Air Quality Index (AQI) on local weather reports or at epa.gov/airnow. 2. Consider scheduling outdoor activities at times when air quality is better. In the summer, this may be the morning. 3. Stay inside with windows closed on high pollen days and when pollutants are high. 4. Work with a healthcare provider to identify your asthma triggers and develop an asthma action plan to reduce triggers in your home."
