Let's face it,
our health is largely dependent on our environment. In many cases, we
don't even think about it, but a good example is how air pollution is known to
increase the risk of developing asthma. According to a study, it just
doesn't end at developing the condition, it also makes controlling it more
difficult. In the study, researchers surveyed 481 people about their
asthma symptoms and compared that data to information about local levels of
ozone, nitrous oxide, and particulate matter. They found that poor air
quality really made a difference.
