What is your Non-Pharmacological ways of helping to manage Asthma?

I have severe asthma. I had carbon monoxide poisoning in 2003. Burning debris can be very very very bad. The kind of chemicals it can put in the air can be horrible. Those military burn pits have caused endless problems. Gave the President's son cancer and he died.
Burning plastic produces dioxin, one of the most dangerous chemicals known to man.
Many firefighters are told not to go into a burning warehouse with a lot of plastic, as it is simply too dangerous.
If you are around burning debris? The only real solution is to move. Period.
You can buy an expensive air filter. But they can only process a small amount of chemicals in the air.
If you want medical confirmation of my suggestion to simply move, you could contact:
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM)

One of the top clinics is in Dallas:

Thanks for the information. I am going to use your information from the AAEM to address the county and state as well as our HOA who does nothing. I am not alone and with others who are on Nextdoor I think we can address this.
This is St. John's County one county over is Duval which does not allow outside buring of debris.
By the way I have a friend from the Air Force who was stationed in a remote area of Thailand where they had the burning pits. He developed all kinds of diseases and had to sue government to get treatment. He is now 100% disabled veteran.
