This study will give HEPA air cleaners to 55 children (ages 7-18) with asthma living in low-income housing in East Harlem, NYC. Researchers will measure indoor air pollution and track asthma attacks, lung function, and airway inflammation over a year. The goal is to see if a simple, affordable air filter can reduce asthma symptoms and emergency visits.
