Early-Life Ozone Exposure and Asthma and Wheeze in Children
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40172886/

Abstract
Importance: Ozone (O3) is the most frequently exceeded air pollutant standard in the US. While short-term exposure is associated with acute respiratory health, the epidemiologic evidence linking postnatal O3 exposure to childhood asthma and wheeze is inconsistent and rarely evaluated as a mixture with other air pollutants.

Conclusions and relevance: In this cohort study with relatively low ambient O3 exposure, early-life O3 was associated with asthma and wheeze outcomes at age 4 to 6 years and in mixture with other air pollutants but not at age 8 to 9 years. Regulating and reducing exposure to ambient O3 may help reduce the significant public health burden of asthma among US children.
