Children’s health at risk in cities without greenery

Children’s respiratory and ocular health is strongly influenced by where they live, says a study conducted in the city of Palermo by researchers from CNR, Ingv, Arpa Emilia-Romagna and DepLazio, entitled “Associations of greenness, greyness and air pollution exposure with children’s health: a cross-sectional study in Southern Italy” and published in the journal Environmental Health
The research analyzed the relationship between the presence of respiratory and allergic symptoms and the performance of three indicators: greenness (urban greenness), greyness (built-up areas) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
