US national parks in the southwest with hotsprings have warned asthmatics away for more than 40 years.

There are many causes that result in the symptom, Asthma: air born particles and gases is only one among: food alergies, chemicals in food and our environment, lack of ventilation, cold weather and exercise. This study should not be used to suggest that geothermal wells are the cause of the worldwide epidemic of increased asthma attacks.

What is also not covered in the article is why these gases are being released by geothermal wells into the open atmosphere.
