What triggers asthma for one person, may not in another. What
triggers asthma in you now, may not trigger it in the future."

Ok I agree with that but how would anyone know if it was caused by pollution
if they had never gone to the airnow website? Surely no doctor ever
recommended that I move becaue of my condition, however that might have been
what I needed more then allergy shots or testing. I may be allergenic to
molds and weeds too but its the pollution that is the defining trigger for
me and in studies which causes many illness and finite death. My whole
theory is , that pollution could be the defining factor for many people with
onset adult asthma and even other illnesses. Often it seems the states with
worse asthma, also has the highest particulate pollution. This theory I
suggest could be tested by comparing the health of two different peoples in
two different locations who ate the same things relatively speaking and who
didn't smoke. The same tests could be done for collecting pollutants in
houses in different pollution level cities. the same comparison tests could
be had between people who live in polluted streets, with much car traffic
compared to those that live in clean air states out in the country. The same
comparisons might show more illness to those affected bypollution  and more
costs  to treat it then those in clean air states. What needs to be done
moreover  is to add up the true total costs  for different levels of
pollution so as to determine damages  , if true and I know and think it true
What I am thinking is, the results might be definitve in establishing cause
and affect . If true this would be a most important way to determine real
damages from pollution .  As it is now, I have the highest possible doubts
that this information will ever be studied.  The reason is the comparison
studies I believe would reveal things that would almost be impossible to
ignore . We would have to come to grips with a total different way to tell
people of this health risks. For some reason this does not seem  (studies)
important enough,, as a collected effect a good choice for policy holders or
political leaders or health professionals  and I want to know why

In addition there is the possibility that beyond asthma, many illnesses and 
cancers and aging might be directly tied to the level of pollution . 
Pollution in my theory is the most widely unreported reason for adult 
asthma, illness and early morbidity in the world today. So ultimately I have 
so far unable to get news people or other professionals to move an inch in 
determining maybe one way or another ( true of fales ) if doing the studies 
in determining this theory is important enough in protecting peoples health 
. I think there is good reason to suggest if the studies and findings were 
done with good collective data  and purpose and with public health policy 
concerns addressses, the  most prominent cause and affect in contributing to 
loss of health there is today in the world  would finally become known. This 
damage I suppose might show huge costs of lives and quality of life due to 
polluntants allowed to come into communities.
