Question 57
F

Scientists investigated whether living near a motorway is a risk factor for asthma in children. They compared 200 children living within 100 m of a motorway with 200 children living in a village 20 km away.

a.

Suggest two factors, other than where the children lived, that the scientists should have matched between the two groups.

[2]
b.

The scientists found that 18 % of the motorway group and 7 % of the village group had asthma. Explain why this result does not prove that traffic pollution causes asthma in children.

[2]
c.

Suggest one type of evidence that would show that traffic pollution does cause asthma.
