What is North Carolina doing to inform citizens about air pollution and its effects?
[Back to Top] The NC Air Awareness Program was created to inform North Carolina’s citizens about air pollution and its effects. The program is an active partnership between the North Carolina Division of Air Quality, county environmental agencies, health departments, local governments, transit providers, businesses, citizen organizations, educators, and the media. The Air Awareness program works to educate the public about air quality issues through the internet (www.ncair.org), hotlines (1-888-RU4NCAIR), brochures, school visits, public events, local media coverage, and through the Air Awareness Coalition. The program seeks to inform citizens as to how their daily actions affect air quality, and how they can protect their health and the health of their environment by making simple lifestyle adjustments. It’s just a matter of taking the time to Think, Act and Breathe.
