#299 Traffic Pollution and Health of Children2014-03-05 10:55Have the parents of children going to new school considered this may not be the best place to have your child go to on health reasons. There are strong links with autism and traffic pollution and the following is an extract from Asthma UK website. Traffic pollution and the health effects on children being in school close to heavy traffic flow. Ref Defra and Asthma UK believes that pollution plays a role in causing asthma in children and adults, as well as being a trigger that can make people's asthma symptoms worse. There’s strong evidence linking the development of asthma with residence near roads with heavy traffic and particularly with vehicles such as diesel-fuelled buses and lorries. Some studies have also suggested a link with adult-onset asthma. Two-thirds of people with asthma tell us that traffic fumes make their asthma worse, and 42% find that traffic fumes discourage them from walking or shopping in congested areas, while 85% of people with asthma tell us they are concerned about the effect that increasing vehicle fumes will have on their and their family's health in the future. |
