BREATHE LA Protects the Breath of Life : promoting clean air and healthy lungs through research, education and technology.

Air Pollution? Dumb!

Canada's Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health released a new study published in "Pediatrics."  The study, "Prenatal Airborne Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Exposure and Child IQ at Age 5 Years," indicates 'prenatal exposure to environmental pollutants' results in low IQ.  

The pollutants include those from 'burning of coal, diesel, oil and gas, or other organic substances such as tobacco.'Urban environments are among the most toxic, but we knew that! This study serves to re-inforce BREATHE LA commitment to clean air and healthy lungs. Your can help make that commitment a reality.
