The Livingston County Health Department will be conducting in-home asthma trigger assessments for children and adults with asthma who frequent the emergency department.

The health department received funding for this project from the Illinois Department of Public Health Asthma Control Program and the project is meant to reduce exposures to environmental asthma triggers inside homes, which can be overlooked or unknown to people living with asthma with the purpose of eliminating the triggers
