Benefits of using Airtext
People who suffer from asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, heart disease or angina may be affected by higher-than-normal levels of air pollution.
If you or your child suffers from one of these conditions, or you care for someone that does, then Airtext will help you to plan ahead to manage these conditions.
On the website, you can also find information about a range of precautionary measures that you can take when air pollution levels are higher than normal.
