A
Hi,
my
name
is
Hayley
Allen
with
your
air
quality
news.
We
have
just
received
a
breaking
news
report.
Someone
in
a
nearby
neighborhood
is
having
a
serious
asthma
attack
as
a
result
of
localized
air
pollution.
For
my
neighbor
burning
trash
in
a
burn
barrel,
asthma
causes
difficulty
in
breathing
chest,
tightness,
coughing
and
wheezing.
Air
pollution
can
works
in
asthma,
symptoms
into
a
life
threatening
situation
where
breathing
stops
completely.
We
will
now
go
to
Austin,
Radcliffe
and
wesley
miller
with
a
live
report.
A
A
A
Thank
you
all
soon,
before
I
walk
over
to
these
gentlemen,
I
want
all
of
our
viewers
out
there
to
know
there
are
our
air
quality
monitors
are
studying
a
lot
of
localized
air
pollution,
children
as
Max
and
hailed
earlier
Earth's
limit
outdoor
activities
until
we
can
get
this
far
out
hooks
the
top
of
air
pollution
emitted
from
burning
garbage
can
be
life
threatening.
Oh.
B
A
Their
toxic
pollutants
being
emitted
from
this
garbage
we're
even
has
to
put
this
fire
out
immediately.
You
could
be
harming
yourself
and
your
neighbors
by
burning
the
stress.
That's
why
files
for
legal
up
and
burning
you're,
so
high
I'm
going
to
have
to
write
you
a
ticket,
what
you're
each
going
to
be
fined
five
hundred
dollars?
That's
the
amount
for
the
first
offense.
If
I
catch
you
again,
you
could
be.
You
could
receive
a
penalty
up
to
ten
thousand
dollars.
A
What
can't
afford
that,
if
you
can't
pay
the
fine,
don't
do
the
crime
I
think
we
should
have
taken
our
trash
to
landfill
eight
dollars
a
lot
cheaper
than
500
or
even
10,000.
You
aren't
here
everyone
you
can
be
found
over
ten
thousand
dollars
for
burning
your
garbage
and
you
can
be
endangering
the
lives
of
your
family
and
your
neighbors,
especially
those
respiratory
illnesses
like
asthma
speaking
of
asthma.
A
Let's
go
over
the
Austin,
the
see
how
their
units
doing
Austin
house
Darian
doing
she's
doing
much
better
now,
with
the
smoke
from
the
open
Bernie
has
been
put
out.
I
expect
her
to
make
a
complete
recovery.
Could
this
happen
again
as
long
as
no
more
open
burning
takes
place
and
Darian's
neighborhood?
She
should
remain
healthy.
However,
if
her
neighbors
keep
burning
trash,
she
can
become
very
ill.
A
Reporting
live
I'm,
also,
not
click
back
to
you.
Haley
do
you
know
throughout
North
Carolina
it
is
illegal
to
burn
garbage
trash
or
any
other
man-made
materials,
even
if
they
burn
barrel
to
smoke
from
these
fires
can
cause
serious
health
problems
such
as
the
one
we
just
witnessed
today.
While
they
smoke
from
your
burning
trash
film
may
not
immediately
bother
you,
it
can
have
a
terrible
impact
on
your
children
and
your
neighbors.
That's
why
wnc
regional
air
quality
agency
takes
open
burning
so
seriously.
