Cars Are Hurting Our Children: Air Pollution and Infant Health
A recent paper in the National Bureau of Economic Research titled “Air Pollution and Infant Health: Lessons from New Jersey” examined a large sample size of infants and mothers. Using information from air quality monitors near children’s residences, researchers discovered “consistently negative effects of exposure to pollution, especially carbon monoxide, both during and after birth.” This really doesn’t come as any big surprise to me, but research like this is important in substantiating why we need stricter clean air regulations.
