Toxic air is more dangerous for children, study says
The polluted air “is nine to 12 times higher inside the car than outside,” Sir King said. “Children are in the back of the car and often the car has the fans on, just sucking the fresh exhaust coming out of the car or lorry in front of them straight into the back of the car". Children are more vulnerable than adults and toxic air can lead to asthma and other respiratory conditions. Moreover, a study led in Barcelona stated that air pollution reduces the ability of children to concentrate.
