La tasa de asma de Connecticut es peor que la tasa nacional, con un 11 por ciento para los niños y el 10.5 por ciento para los adultos, y va en aumento. Los vecindarios de Bridgeport, Hartford y New Haven se encuentran entre los más afectados. El dióxido de carbono producido por los automóviles, el humo del cigarrillo, el moho y las alimañas en las viviendas de baja calidad, están entre los factores desencadenantes.
