Air purifiers may give overweight kids with asthma extra relief
NCT ID NCT02763917
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether being overweight makes children with asthma more sensitive to air pollution. About 200 children from Baltimore, half overweight and half normal weight, will get either real or fake air purifiers in their homes. Researchers will track asthma symptoms to see if the purifiers help overweight kids more, which could lead to better ways to manage asthma in this group.
