How can hail impact air quality?
With rain and snow come hail. In fact, most hailstorms in the U.S. occur in the Midwest, making them a threat to your property and air quality year-round. Air pollution is actually known to increase the size of hail. The more polluted your air, the larger
the hail.
"Hailstones are formed when raindrops are carried upward by thunderstorm updrafts into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere and freeze. Hailstones then grow by colliding with liquid water drops that freeze onto the hailstone's surface." – NSSL
With thunderstorms that accompany hailstorms, you can see an increase of humid air outside which creates hot, moist air that can impact your breathing.
