Listen: The American Lung Association's fight for air.

For nearly half of our history, the American Lung Association has battled air pollution. We fight because dirty air harms our health and can threaten life itself. Most recently, we fought successfully to clean up diesel fuel and engines and to require the clean up of coal-fired power plants. But our record begins much farther back. Now in our second century, the American Lung Association leads the way to save lives, improve lung health and prevent lung disease. The American Lung Association is fighting for air through research, education and advocacy.
