Smog from oil and gas production could be responsible for a nation-worst 45,800 asthma attacks among Dallas-area children by 2025, according to a new study from two environmental groups.

The research from Clean Air Task Force and Earthworks also projected more than 2,600 asthma- or other respiratory-related emergency room visits or hospital admissions.
