While much focus has been placed on the physical activity and environmental benefits of providing safe and livable streets for children, few studies look at the mental health and cognitive development benefits from lowering children壮s exposure to threats from traffic. In response, this study uses ...
It feels like going back to my childhood, that you're like a child looking at an ant, just that. (T39, ST) Yes, yes, when I go to work by bike or on foot, it doesn't really matter which, I try to find routes where there's as little traffic as possible. So, I try to ...
of environmental, social, economic, and political factors in the emergence and growth of the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) over the years and pre-existing differences, the adverse effects of air pollution on the health and well-being of the people have ...
Childhood is an important period for the development of socioemotional and cognitive skills given the high degree of brain plasticity that facilitates learning and adaptation to the environment [1,2]. However, early life adversity (ELA) during periods of heightened plasticity may alter developmental tr...
Effects of exposure measurement error in the analysis of health effects from traffic-related air pollution. J Exp Sci Environ Epidemiol 20: 101-111 (2010).Baxter LK, Wright RJ, Paciorek C, Laden F, Suh HH, Levy JI. Effects of exposure measurements error in the analysis of health effects ...
associations between air pollution and restricted activity days, a number of studies and reports have been developed to make predictions about the public-health impact of traffic-related air pollution, with outcomes including mortality, hospital admissions, and restricted activity days. For example, a ...
Very few surveys have investigated the health effects of both wind farms and road traffic so that the public health effects of environmental stressors are broadly understood. This case-control study examined the influences of both wind turbine noise and road traffic noise on self-reported symptoms ...
moderate preference and restoration31,34. Moreover, the amount of green features within urban environments35, their aesthetic and design quality36and absence of vehicular traffic (i.e. pedestrianised public spaces) can also promote restorative effects that are comparable with those of natural environm...
The review discovered that temperatures up to 60°C have been recorded in the region and that extreme heat has many adverse effects on human health, such as worsening mental health in low-income adults, increasing the likelihood of miscarriage, and adverse effects on well-being and safety, ...
The impacts of air pollution on public health have become a great concern worldwide. Ambient particulate matter (PM) is a major air pollution that comprises a heterogeneous mixture of different particle sizes and chemical components. The chemical composi
