Respiratory Care Week: A Good Time To Care About Our Fuel, Air

October 24th, 2018

Did you know this week in October is Respiratory Care Week? It’s a time that celebrates both people who live with respiratory illness and the many dedicated health professionals who care for them. Clean air is important for everyone’s health, but especially for those already dealing with a lung disease.

Here in Minnesota, the largest source of air pollution is tailpipe emissions from vehicles. That’s why the American Lung Association began working with cleaner fuels like ethanol 20 years ago. The state’s oldest health charity continues to recognize ethanol blends like E85 as a Clean Air Choice® for Minnesota drivers.

In the laboratory, the clinic, and even at the corner filling station, the American Lung Association is working hard to improve lung health for all Minnesotans. You can help by using ethanol blends like 88 octane or E85, if you have a flex fuel vehicle. Flex fuel vehicle drivers can significantly reduce the tailpipe emissions that pollute our air by choosing E85 instead of petroleum gasoline.

For more information on where you can find these cleaner-burning fuels, search the 88 Octane retailer directory or the flex fuel retailer directory.
