Participating in an air quality study was not something Rudy Lopez would have done had it not been for his son Bruno.
Bruno was diagnosed with asthma before his second birthday in 2014. It’s a respiratory condition Lopez had seen before in his sister, who died from an asthma attack at 35.
“I don’t think an air study would have peaked my curiosity normally,” Lopez said. But the San Ysidro resident was curious about the role that living near a train station and one of the busiest border crossings played in his son’s condition. He came across the study in an email calling for participants.
