One possible confounder of the asthma study is where people live. There
was an article in the tuesday science section of the NY Times a few
months ago reporting on a research study that found that children who
grew up within a certain distance of a highway had reduced lung
function. I don't remember the details, but I'm sure a Medline search
would bring it up.
