Children with
asthma likely born in area with high air pollution
Researchers identified 'clusters' where higher numbers of children who

Children who develop asthma in Toronto are more likely to have been born in
a neighbourhood that has a high level of traffic-related air pollution, new
research suggests.
Researchers identified a number of "clusters" where higher
numbers of children who developed asthma were born, including Parkdale-Little
Portugal, west of downtown Toronto; the neighbourhood where the Don Valley
Parkway connects to the westbound Gardiner Expressway; and parts of
Scarborough, including where the Don Valley Parkway and Highway 401 intersect
and around Cliffside-Scarborough Village.
"In this study, high clusters of atopic asthma [asthma related to
allergies] were found in children who were born in parts of the southwest,
south and northeast of Toronto," said lead author Dr. Ketan Shankardass, a
social epidemiologist with the Centre for Research on Inner City Health of St.
Michael's Hospital. "Such clusters support the notion that early life
factors at the neighbourhood level are relevant to the development of childhood
asthma.''
Shankardass said 70 percent of the children involved in the study had moved
from their birth neighbourhood, further suggesting the air pollution during
pregnancy and shortly after birth was related to developing asthma later in
childhood.
While exposure to traffic-related air pollution helped explain some of
these clusters, Shankardass said air pollution isn't necessarily acting alone
in causing childhood asthma, or else they would have found similar clusters
along all the main thoroughfares in Toronto.
His study was published in the journal Health & Place.
Shankardass said other risk factors that could be associated with childhood
asthma include the relatively low socioeconomic status in Parkdale-Little
Portugal and Scarborough, which have average median incomes of $51,767 and
$52,944, respectively, compared to $65,047 in the rest of the greater Toronto
area.
In addition, there may be persistent air pollution in Scarborough from
sources other than traffic, such as factories. In 2006, the average area of
industrial land-use in Scarborough (62,715 square metres) was far higher than
the rest of the GTA.
The Parkdale and Little Portugal neighbourhoods also contain some of the
city's oldest housing stock (the average percentage of pre-1946 housing in
Parkdale-Little Portugal is 55 percent, compared to 4 percent in Scarborough
and 19 percent in the rest of the GTA). That includes many large homes that
have been converted into small, crowded apartment buildings and that are poorly
maintained, meaning there might be indoor environmental hazards that were not
completely accounted for in the study, such as cockroaches and mold.
