now, especially in small children,
why is each generation deteriorating in health?
Why is each new generation having more respiratory problems with more frequency in younger and younger generations if our pollution levels have gotten significantly better over the past few decades?
And why have asthmatic death fatalities risen sharply as the decades have passed if our pollution levels have improved drastically in that time?

no it's not locke.
most people are NOT outgrowing their asthma, the statistics on lung disease show it is at epidemic levels,
more fatalities and it has gotten worse as the years have passed.
Something is attributing to serious autoimmunity response/ chronic lung conditions.

You know those days where the smog is really severe and they tell people with pulmonary ailments to not go outside?
Well the air quality is to blame. I know for one, as an lifelong asthmatic there is a massive difference between breathing city air, and country air. You can notice the difference.
We know, and it has been shown that air quality directly increased the instances of pulmonary ailments.

Perhaps our lungs are evolving to be able to inhale our new polluted atmosphere?
As a side note, I was born with Asthma and it went away by the age of 5. This is actually quite common.
Also, three decades is a long time, medically speaking. There have been a lot of breakthroughs in medicine and our overall understanding of health. Perhaps more people aren't getting Asthma; maybe more people are just being diagnosed than before. Not all people with Asthma need treatment. It's possible 20 or 30 years ago people had it and just didn't know.

I think you can look to our air, water and food for all the answers you need.
Where have the pollution levels improved drastically? Certain pollutants have gone down but others are way up. They are also finding new threats in the air like Teflon. We are what we eat, breathe and drink.

Pollution, especially ozone. I for one am feeling it today in smoggy NYC.

Smog, dust, and other man-made airborne pollutants.

Why did you post your question in Politics? How is anyone to know what you say is true? I don't agree with you.
