Improving Air Quality in Delaware: Protecting Your Health and Home

Air quality is a critical issue in Delaware, significantly impacting the health and well-being of its residents.  With the state's industrial activity, increased traffic, and varied climates, maintaining clean air in your home is more important than ever, especially in cities like Wilmington, Dover, Newark, Middletown, Rehoboth, and Smyrna.

The Importance of Good Air Quality

Delaware has faced ongoing challenges with air quality which is particularly concerning for the respiratory health of our residents. According to the Delaware Division of Public Health, almost 12% of adults and over 19% of high school students reported having been diagnosed with asthma at some point in their life. Children under 4 are more than twice as likely to be hospitalized for asthma than adults in this state. This is why it’s essential to take proactive steps to ensure the air inside your home is as clean as possible.


Air Quality Challenges in Delaware

Delaware experiences varying air quality levels depending on the time of year and proximity to industrial areas. Chemical pollutants from industrial activities and traffic can significantly reduce air quality, impacting those with asthma or other respiratory conditions. Rural areas, while often perceived as having cleaner air, can also face challenges from agricultural activities and pollen. The American Lung Association has also given Delaware poor grades for ozone pollution, further emphasizing the need for effective air quality solutions indoors.
