WHAT TRAFFIC FUMES DO TO OUR
CHILDREN
Every year, we discover more about the
harm being done to our children by the
fumes that cars and other vehicles produce.
The more we learn, the worse it looks. In
polluted places, the damage to their health
can be very serious.
Here is what we now know about the harm
that traffic pollution can do to children:
It can damage the growth of their lungs. This
means that the lungs of children who have
been affected don’t work so well. The
damage can last for the rest of their lives.
It raises the risk of asthma and allergies. For
children who already have asthma, pollution
can make it worse.
It can damage the development of their
brains. Air pollution can reduce children’s
intelligence, making it harder for them to
learn.
It can change their behaviour & reduce their
happiness and has been linked to anxiety,
depression & Attention Deficit Disorder.
It raises the risk of heart disease later in life.
It can cause cancer, both in children and
when they become adults.
Unborn children can also be affected by the
pollution their mothers breathe. Air
pollution is linked to babies being born
prematurely and small.
Pollution inside your car can be much worse
than pollution outside, because the fumes
are concentrated in the small space.
By driving them to school and by sitting in
our cars with the engines idling, we are
helping to poison our own children.
We don’t mean to do this to our children.
But once we know how much we are hurting
them, we can stop it, by changing the way
we travel. Walking and cycling are ideal.
