CDC study links improved air quality with decreased emergency visits for asthma

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released a study showing that decreased citywide use of automobiles in Atlanta during the 1996 Summer Olympics led to improved air quality and a large decrease in childhood emergency room visits and hospitalizations for asthma. Atlanta’s inner-city children on Medicaid seemed to benefit the most from this Olympic experiment in city transportation planning, showing a 42% decrease in asthma-related emergency room visits. The study was released in the February 21st edition of Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Tweet
