The more children are exposed to pollution, the greater the risk they will develop their first case of asthma, a large study has found
.
The study, published in the BMJ on Wednesday, adds to the growing evidence that exposure to air pollution influences the development of chronic breathing problems. Pollution linked to first time asthmaDoctors have long known that even brief exposure to air pollution can make asthma worse, but less is known about whether pollution raises the risk that children will develop asthma in the first place.
The 2020 State of the Air report from the American Lung Association found that more Americans, more than 46% of the US, lived in communities impacted by unhealthy levels of pollution. That's higher than was found in past reports. Scientists think the climate crisis is making it even harder to protect human health, since warmer temperatures make air pollution a much bigger problem.
