Association of Urban Greenness and Air Pollution on Asthma Visits Among Children and Adolescents in Industrial and Non-Industrial Cities in Taiwan

Background

Environmental factors such as air pollution and urban greenness are important in influencing pediatric asthma, yet their individual effects remain unclear across industrial and non-industrial settings. This study examined whether urban greenness modifies the link between air pollution and pediatric asthma in Kaohsiung (industrial) and Taipei (non-industrial), Taiwan, by highlighting differential environmental impacts on children's health.
