This study looked at how chemicals in the air inside homes might affect kids and teens, especially when it comes to asthma. These chemicals, found in things like plastics, furniture, toys, cleaning products, and even dust, can mess with the body’s natural balance. For example, chemicals from plastic dust were linked to a 21% higher chance of asthma, while others like arsenic or bisphenols (in water bottles or food containers) could double the risk.
