It's a fast paced world, and we're constantly identifying new ways of tackling new problems. But it's essential that those solutions are grounded in fact and research to help us make sure we're tackling the right problems, and implementing the right solutions. To help the whole sector move at speed, we want to share as much of our own research as we can.

Effects of air pollution on child health and do interventions work?

(21/08/20)

There are significant impacts from air pollution on physical health, both in children and in adults. Of note a number of the health effects in adults are actually the end result of exposure at a young age. Therefore, reducing air pollution exposure for children would have a likely improvement in the health of those individuals as adults.

This review looks at the physical health effects on children and reviews the current literature surrounding the possible improvements that can be made through reductions in air pollution exposure through interventions.
