infobox image caption grammar

The infobox pic has featured goofy grammar since Produde29499's june 27 edit (almost a month as of writing!). I'd fix this but I'm unregistered and the article is semi-protected.

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

From Environmental section, Change:

"Exposure to indoor volatile organic compounds may be a trigger for asthma; formaldehyde exposure, for example, has a positive association.[50] Phthalates in certain types of PVC are associated with asthma in both children and adults.[51][52] While exposure to pesticides is linked to the development of asthma, a cause and effect relationship has yet to be established.[53][54] A meta-analysis concluded gas stoves are a major risk factor for asthma, finding around one in eight cases in the U.S. could be attributed to these.[55]"

by adding this at the end:

"Indoor houseplants improve air quality by reducing levels of formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide."^[1]^[2] Surftacular (talk) 21:56, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is not true. Indoor houseplants do not substantially affect indoor air quality. https://www.lung.org/blog/houseplants-dont-clean-air Jaredroach (talk) 22:44, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-I could not find a way to edit it myself, hence I am requesting you to consider an edit I cannot make. The phrase - "easily treatable" - is technically correct but misleading. It is true that asthma is treatable, and most of the treatments are "easy" unless one acknowledges that many people have trouble with inhaler technique. However, the statement implies that asthma treatment is also universally effective and this is far from the case. Later in the page I added information to illustrate this.
-It turns out there is evidence for a known cure for some forms of asthma, which I will address on the 'Chlamydia pneumoniae' page. However, this topic is still very controversial so I am not dealing with it directly on the asthma page, except to explain why I suggest altering the statement to read:
-"The current consensus is that there is no known cure for asthma, and many efficacious treatments are available that have variable effectiveness."

-Everyone with asthma should have an Asthma Action Plan in writing. This plan provides information and instructions on how you can manage your asthma. It includes:
-Medicines
-Recognizing when your symptoms get worse
-What to do in an emergency
-If you do not have a written Asthma Action Plan, take the form below to your doctor and have them fill it out for you.
-Asthma Action Plans also tell school and other caregivers about your child’s asthma. This could include teachers, school nurses, and after school care staff.Asthma Action Plans also tell school and other caregivers about your child’s asthma. This could include teachers, school nurses, and after school care staff. Work with your health care provider to create a plan for your child.
