Melbourne's inner-west suburbs record 26-53 percent higher asthma hospital visits

A Deakin University study found asthma-related hospital visits are 26-53 percent higher in Melbourne's inner-west suburbs of Maribyrnong, Hobsons Bay and Brimbank compared to Victoria overall. Rates in these areas reach 125-144 visits per 10,000 children versus the state average of 92, with researchers linking the spike to truck pollution and air quality concerns.
