Study Links Asthma With Indoor Swimming Pools

Rising cases of asthma in European children could be partly due to
indoor swimming pools, Belgian scientists said on Tuesday.

They believe exposure to chlorine bi-products, both in the air and the
water, could be a factor.

"The prevalence of childhood asthma and the number of indoor
chlorinated swimming pools in Europe are linked through associations
that are geographically consistent and independent of climate, altitude
and the socioeconomic status of the country," said Professor Alfred
Bernard
Risk factors for the illness, which can be controlled but not cured,
include early exposure to allergens such as domestic mites, a family
history of the illness and exposure to tobacco smoke.
