Health NEWS: Recent studies has suggested that “Exposure to air pollution on the way to school can have damaging effects on growth of working memory of the kids”
According to Mar Alvarez-Pedreol, researcher at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (IS Global) in Spain “The detrimental effects may be particularly marked in children because of their smaller lung capacity and higher respiratory rate”
The researcher was carried out in Barcelona and enrolled over 1,200 children aged from seven to ten, from 39 schools, all of whom walked to school on a daily basis. Those children who are going to school by bus or private care are also affected same as the children those who go to school on foot.
