Urban Environments Significantly Raise Asthma Risk, New Study Shows

Scientists looked at how living in cities affects asthma.

They found that breathing dirty air, not having parks nearby, and living around lots of concrete and roads can make it more likely for kids and adults to get asthma.

Adults who live in areas with more pollution have a higher risk.

Also, kids who don't have parks near their home are more at risk.

The study looked at people from all ages, linking asthma to factors in their home environment.

This means that if cities try to make their air cleaner and have more green spaces, they can help to keep people from getting asthma and improve their health.
