- The new study reveals the top three cities in the U.S. with the most difficult air quality conditions for asthma, as well as other outdoor and indoor air quality triggers of asthma.
- The research reveals that Indianapolis, IN; Houston, TX; and Nashville, TN have the highest concentration of particulate matter (PM2.5)and humidity levels.
- PM2.5 and humidity are two of the most potent, yet relatively lesser known, triggers of asthma symptoms.
