More Information
Research shows that exposure to air pollution, especially in urban areas, is associated with a higher risk of asthma in children. Therefore, the statements that a majority of children with asthma live in high-exposure areas and that higher exposure increases asthma risk are supported.
Tips
A common mistake might be assuming that all children with asthma live in high-pollution areas without considering areas with average or varied pollution levels.
