Well, one could wear a respirator to purify the air. :rolleyes: Attacking someone's character doesn't do a thing to save your rather labored argument - it just makes you look like a desperate bully. The article you refer to in post 31 examines the increase in astma compared with the increase in pollutants so there's no reason for them to mention cold air. :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: |

It's spelled "asthma", and they do mention cold air making it clear that generally it's not a key trigger - as I have been trying to tell you. It's the crap in the air that's of primary concern. :rolleyes: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: |

I'm not certain the great lakes will have the same power as the oceans.

But then east coast Australian cities are much more humid than Perth. Hmmmm, this maddening metereological mystery is getting out of control. Just where the hell is Michael Fish when you need him, eh? [Translation for American readers] Just where the hell is Michael Fish when you need him, huh? |

Someone asked if cold air was a trigger for asthma, I said yes it can be and that it's a well known and common trigger. OceanMDX said no not really. I restated that yes cold air is a common and well known trigger .... and then he starts bleating on about how mould, etc are a more major trigger when whether x or y was more major trigger was not the point of my disagreement with him in the first place. It's a fallacious argument of some sort. |

Re: Moving from Australia to Canada
What if the air is warmed by a block heater?
