Worst Cities For Asthma 2010

Filed Under Allergy Blog 

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America rates cities every year and comes up with a list of the 100 worst cities for those with asthma. When ranking what it calls the Allergy Capitals the foundation focuses on three factors; prevalence factors, risk factors and medical factors. Some cities on the list were hurt by having poor anti-smoking laws others suffer from their naturally high pollen counts due to geographic location.

If you suffer from asthma and allergies and are planning a trip you may want to have a look at the list to see if the city appears.
