Children Exposed to Air Pollution at School May Be Cognitively Delayed


I read this article, it was about children were exposed to air pollution.  The air pollution affected those children development because of factory, air conditioner and car engine smoke. It is really impacts education performance and bring health problems. Also the air pollution exposed to heart disease asthma and cancer.  The author says “Elementary school children who are exposed to chronic air pollution may develop cognitive abilities more slowly than children who breathe cleaner air.”  The school where this epidemic is happening is in Barcelona. There are 2,000 children who are 7-10 years old.
Click me for the article.

  1. Air pollution is very dangerous in school area. All students can be contaminated at the same times if air is polluted. For example when one student has tuberculosis, he (she) can contaminate all students just by breathing cleaner air. In this case it can be epidemic. Then can killed many of them if the staff administration cannot take care immediately.
