Description:
The El Paso Children's Health Study has been a major collaborative effort by NHEERL and NERL scientists to examine the role of mobile source emissions in the development of allergies and asthma among 4th and 5th grade children in El Paso, TX. The purpose of this study was to determine if exposures to gaseous air toxics and particulate matter from mobile and other urban sources are associated with increased incidence of respiratory health effects in children. Intra-urban gradients of exposure and possible respiratory outcomes were evaluated.
