Child asthma rates soar in Bushwick
Jennifer Mora lives with her 4-year-old son Devin in an apartment with one window. For most people, the lack of natural light would be an inconvenience, but for Devin, it’s potentially life-threatening: poor ventilation can trigger his asthma. Devin reflects a growing problem in north Brooklyn. An estimated one in 20 children in Bushwick and Williamsburg suffer from asthma.
