The association between air pollution and childhood asthma: United States, 2010-2015.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The current population-based study examines the association between county-level ambient air pollution and childhood asthma.

Methods

Data from the nationally representative 2010-2015 National Health Interview Survey were linked to nationwide fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) air pollution data at the county-level from the National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network which utilizes air quality monitoring stations and modeled PM_2.5 measurements (Downscaler model data) and adjusted by county-level socioeconomic characteristics data from the 2010-2015 American Community Survey. Multilevel modeling techniques were used to assess the association between PM_2.5 annual concentrations (quartiles < 8.11, 8.11-9.50, 9.51-10.59, ≥ 10.60 µ
