Fact check GOP senator cites flawed asthma chart
The article examines Kentucky Senator Rand Paul’s claim linking air pollution to asthma trends. It notes his chart misattributes data to a California health department paper and relies on a 2006 think tank report not peer reviewed. Health experts say pollution can worsen or trigger asthma, contradicting the senator’s implication of no link.
