Asthma in NM.

[yukon]

My allergies usually manifest themselves with itchy eyes, so I use allergy eye drops (Opticon A is good).

Actually, that chart was more on-topic that most of the posts.

However, combining the two topics doesn't seem to be out of
line since both are sort of a quiet suffering that the afflicted person
has to do while to rest of the unaffected population just goes about
their business. I 'enjoy' a little of both.

Denver isn't as bad as many people make it out to be. Most of the large cities in Texas are worse. Not sure why ABQ had so many days last year - anyone have a guess?

Thanks for the link to the website -- but notice how Denver has an asterix? That means nonattainment, which means that the area doesn't attain minimum air pollution standards. So the good score is completely offset by the asterix.

It seems like it's impossible to find an unpolluted place anymore.

I can find unpolluted, but it's usually somewhere with few jobs or low paying jobs, or in the middle of nowhere, or has horrid weather (sigh).
