"The Air We Breathe"

In this episode, we’re talking about “The Air We Breathe.”  The environment directly affects the health status and plays a major role in the quality of life, years of healthy life lived, and healthy disparities.  We know that poor air quality is linked to premature death, cancer and long-term damage to respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Does transportation and mobile emission play a role in this or is there a shift for the better? What are the challenges that may impact our future?

Co-host Gayle Godek delves into a discussion on air quality in Northeast Ohio and the health impacts on residents with guests John Carl, M.D., head of the Center for Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic and Tim Kovach, Air Quality Planner at NOACA.
