Hot days are bad enough but when you add in a batch of air pollution, as can be found in most major cities, the air quality only seems to get exponentially worse. Major cities have a tendency to form a sort of “heat island” where temperatures on hot days can actually be 2-22°F (1-12°C) hotter than if you live in a nearby rural community.

When it comes to poor air quality, did you know your pet can experience some of the same symptoms you do? It's true. Therefore you might want to be aware of these 5 ways that air pollution can hit hard on a hot day.
