Asthma Capital

No, it's not Denver. That distinction goes to Aatlanta, Georgia according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

The reason? Serious air pollution and a high asthma death rate. Atlanta, in fact, has some of the worst ozone pollution in the southern United States and has so far failed to clean up smog levels.

Thankfully Denver isn't among the top 10 most challenging places to live with asthma. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of American actually ranked Denver the 78th most challenging place to live with asthma. 78th may seem to be far down the list, but it shouldn't be on the list in the first place.

We still have progress to make toward cleaning up Denver's smog, but let's all make it a goal to never, ever let our air quality get as bad as Atlanta. Deal?
