The U.S. EPA’s Coordinated Approach on Asthma Interview with Dr. Daniel Costa

With federal, state and local partners, we are building the nation’s capacity to control asthma and manage exposure to indoor and outdoor pollutants linked to asthma. The purpose is to build knowledge and awareness to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans with asthma.
