1. Don’t smoke and avoid second-hand smoke. Cigarette smoke is known to reduce your cardiorespiratory health and increase the risk of developing cancers. Talk to your physician, pharmacist or visit QuitNow.ca to get free help with smoking cessation. Try to avoid exposure to second-hand smoke.
2. Pay attention to local air quality advisories. Try to reduce your exposure to outdoor air pollution by spending more time inside when air pollution levels are high. If you have allergies to plants try to avoid parks during pollen season.
3. Get cardiovascular exercise. Exercise improves your cardiovascular and respiratory health. Studies suggest that fitness reduces your susceptibility to the harmful effects of air pollution. Getting more than 2.5 hours a week of vigorous aerobic activity is ideal, but every little bit helps. Try to exercise indoors when outdoor air pollution levels are high.
4. Walk, cycle or use public transportation. Try to walk or cycle, rather than drive, to get around as this improves your fitness and does not produce any air pollution. For longer trips take public transport to reduce local air pollution.
5. Reduce air pollution generation at home. Try to heat and power your home using renewably generated electricity. Alternatively, burn smart by replacing wood stoves with electric or gas furnaces. Take advantage of local wood stove exchange programs. Consider replacing any gasoline burning machines that you own, i.e. lawn mowers, leaf blowers, snow plows, string trimmers, chainsaws, with battery or electric versions.
6. Use indoor HEPA air filters. High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter based air conditioning and air purifier systems can reduce the particulate matter and allergens in indoor air. However, avoid ‘ionic’ or filter-free systems as these often generate high amounts of the air pollutant ozone.

Explanation:
Planned home birth which entails a pregnant client opting to give birth at home rather than in a clinic or hospital often comes with its advantages and disadvantages. An healthcare provider or a certified midwife always assists during labor and delivery at home.
The statement which best indicates that the pregnant client understood the pros and cons of home birth is statement B, "I want to have more control, but I am concerned if an emergency would arise." One of the advantages of home birth is that the pregnant client in her convenient setting that looks familiar, exercise more control over the experience. The pregnant client can decide to take any birthing position she likes, take warm showers, use aromatherapy etc.
Statement A, C, and D don’t indicate a better understanding because of the following:
1. Home birth is less expensive compared to giving birth in hospitals.
2. Complications might arise during birth, and it is more risky compared to giving birth at the hospital.
3. A certified midwife can handle the delivery process, but in case of any emergency, the pregnant client would be transferred to a nearby hospital for proper handling of the emergency.
