Children exposed to higher ozone levels early in life are more likely to develop asthma

Professor of Biostatistics Adam Szpiro collaborated on a study that found that children exposed to higher levels of ozone in their first two years of life were significantly more likely to be diagnosed with asthma or wheezing at ages 4-6 — but researchers didn’t observe the increased risk of asthma at ages 8-9. The study was published in a recent JAMA Network Open.
