But millions of children have it much worse. Millions of kids live in areas where the air makes them sick, where a deep breath could trigger a terrifying asthma attack. Nine million children have asthma, according to the National Institutes of Health, including one in six African-American children. And 186 million people breathe unhealthy air today because our ozone standard is too weak.
