Summary

This study tracks 30 adults with asthma to see if changes in indoor and outdoor air pollution are linked to asthma attacks. Participants will have sensors placed in their homes to measure pollutants like fine particles and chemicals. The goal is to understand which pollutants are most harmful and help guide future prevention strategies.

Regardless of the type of asthma, patients will be potentially included if they have a minimum of 4 exacerbations during the year preceding inclusion in the EXAP project\>.
