Nestled between two rivers, at the tip of Indiana’s most southern point, lies Evansville, Indiana, a town of approximately 119,000 residents. Of those residents, resided a 12-year-old boy named Kavon Cooper who suffered from severe asthma. So severe that it restricted the amount of time Kavon could spend outside or whether he could stay at a friend’s house overnight; because of this, Kavon spent most of his time indoors, windows shut, playing video games. This was his norm, at least until he collapsed and died in his home on April 18, 2015. The coroner ruled Kavon’s death “an acute asthma attack” and the only explanation that Kavon’s mother, Kris Dasch, received was that the “pollen had spiked” that day. However, something else had spiked the previous day and continued to spike on the day Kavon died, it was “fine particulate matter.” Fine particulate matter are tiny toxic specs that are released into the air by emissions from coal-fired power plants, vehicles, and other factories. According to the air monitor, less than half a mile away from Kavon’s home, fine particulate matter had increased twenty micrograms per cubic meter the day before Kavon died, and then increased by an additional nine micrograms per cubic meter the next day. Dr. Carrie A. Redlich, director of the Yale Occupational and Environmental Medicine Program believes that air pollution was at the very least, a contributing factor in Kavon’s death. However, Kavon Cooper’s death is not an isolated one. Approximately sixtyfive miles north of Evansville, in Washington, Indiana, 3-year-old Leighton Fry suffers from chronic asthma which requires two daily breathing treatments and
