Very true, the study definitely does not provide a causal result, and the language I used about moving people out up an income tier definitely implied a causal attitude.
I also agree that health and pollution are major factors, and would argue that people with more income have more ability to improve these factors or mitigate their impacts. Eg, more income allows better access to health care, nutrition, moving to less polluted areas or being able to pay for Asthma treatment.

Thanks for calling this out!
