- Student Diamond Naga Siu photographed the South Bronx resident and journalist Ed Garcia Conde holding his asthma inhaler. Up to 17 percent of South Bronx residents suffer from asthma, making it one of the worst
neighborhoods in New York for respiratory health. Most people attribute the high rate to the car and truck traffic introduced to the area by the urban renewal era confluence of highways, including the Cross-Bronx, Major Deegan, and Bruckner.
