Summary
This workshop explored air toxics and asthma links. While ozone and particulate matter (PM10) may worsen asthma, direct air toxic effects require more research, especially on human exposure.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Health
- Pulmonary Medicine
- Toxicology
Background:
- The National Urban Air Toxics Research Center (NUATRC) convened a workshop to discuss the relationship between air toxics and asthma.
- The workshop featured scientific presentations on asthma mechanisms, epidemiology, and environmental factors.
