Abstract
Medical literature that explored the relationship between asthma and differing environments was reviewed. The majority of the studies available involved case-control, cross-sectional studies and systematic reviews. Evidence revolving around this topic is contradictory, including the effects of rural and urban environment on asthma as well as the effects of air pollution on asthma exacerbations, was inconclusive.
