Children and Asthma
National Links
- Asthma and indoor environments — EPA's national asthma Web site, with basic information including frequent questions
- Managing asthma in the school environment — resources for managing asthma at school
- America's Children and the Environment: Asthma — Information about asthma and related environmental measures among children in the U.S.
These Web pages provide an overview of the prevalence of asthma in children, asthma research and intervention efforts, and additional asthma resources for each of the states in EPA's Pacific Southwest Region. There is considerable variation between states in the information available. Also, there are some important differences (such as racial diversity or percent living in poverty) between the populations of children in each state, which may play a role in asthma rates.
