Abstract

Public Health Relevance

Respiratory conditions in children are a serious public health concern throughout the world. Asthma is the most common chronic childhood disease, affecting 9 million children in the U.S. This disease is increasing in prevalence, incidence, and severity, particularly in developed countries. Air pollution accounts for substantial morbidity and mortality in children. The overall goal of this project is to understand how and why air pollution alters lung host defense and places children at risk of developing lung infections and asthma.
