Air Health Our Health Cleaning Agents, Chronic Bronchitis, and Latino Lung Health with Alejandro Diaz
Dr. Alejandro Diaz of Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital joins me today to talk about chronic bronchitis and challenges facing the US Hispanic Community, as well as the health effects of cleaning agent exposure.
To Do:
1- Support more research on health in Hispanic community- one such study is going on in COVID19 in Yakima WA now, funded by the ALA. There is still time to donate to our ALA fundraiser here (before Mar 14, 2021) or here (after March 14, 2021).
2- Donate to the Immigrant Worker Safety Net Fund- help those who generally can’t afford a sick day stay home to care for themselves or relatives
3- Twitch Airways Club Members- be careful when using cleaning agents. Ensure the room is well-ventilated, and perhaps use your cleaning agent as the last item prior to leaving the room. Pay attention if agents any are particularly irritating to you, and avoid them.
