Protect Kids' Lungs in Smoky Air | Milwaukee News

When Wisconsin skies turn hazy and smoky, it’s not just a pretty view—it’s a health emergency for kids. With smaller lungs, children are especially vulnerable to airborne pollutants, and for those with asthma, smoky air can trigger serious flare-ups. Even before birth, poor air quality may link to premature birth and developmental risks. Pediatricians urge parents to keep kids indoors, pre-medicate if needed, and use car AC in recirculate mode. Stay hydrated, stay cool, and if you must go outside, wear a mask. Protect those developing lungs—grown-ups need to lead the way.
