The State of the Air 2010 report by the American Lung Association (ALA) says over 175 million people in the US–roughly 58 percent–still suffer pollution levels that are too often dangerous to breathe.

• The annual death toll from particle pollution may be even greater than previously understood. The California Air Resources Board recently tripled the estimate of premature deaths in California from particle pollution to 18,000 annually.
• Long term exposure to air pollution-especially from highway traffic-harms women, even while in their 50s. Exposure to particle pollution appears to increase women's risk of lower lung function, developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
• Busy highways are high risk zones. Pollution from heavy highway traffic contributes to higher risks for heart attack, allergies, premature births and the death of infants around the time they are born. New studies looking at the impact of traffic pollution, even in cities with generally "cleaner" air, expanded the concern over the health effects of chronic exposure to exhaust from heavy traffic.
• Reducing air pollution has extended life expectancy. Thanks to a drop in particle pollution between 1980 and 2000, life expectancy in 51 U.S. cities increased by 5 months on average, according to a recent analysis.

With the growing evidence on the dangers of breathing polluted air, obtaining an Air Purifier makes a great deal of sense.
