The fact is that it is not the air itself, but the irritants in the air, that causes the problem. Aerosol sprays, perfume, cleansers, and other strong odorous products can irritate the airways and cause a reaction. Tobacco and air pollution are the most common irritants. Find out more about how you can avoid episodes due to tobacco and air pollution. Various types of irritants can affect people differently. Contact an allergy specialist to schedule an allergy test.
