11/27/2014

An article published by Environmental Health News on November 5, 2014 ("Air pollution linked to children's attention problems" by Lindsey Konkel) discusses a recent study published by scientists from Columbia University. The study found that children exposed in the womb to high levels of pollutants commonly found in vehicle exhaust were five times more likely to have attention problems at age nine. This study adds to the significant body of research that has been done at Columbia University linking prenatal exposure to pollutants to behavioural issues and developmental delays in young children.
