Luftverschmutzung ist besonders schädlich für Kinder.

Children are more vulnerable to the effects of air pollution because
their lungs don't fully form until they are adolescents, the American
Academy of Pediatrics noted.

The leading pediatricians group added that "because children spend more
time outdoors than do adults, they have increased exposure to outdoor
air pollution."

"If you live near a polluted area of a city, it's like the child is
smoking," said best-selling author and pediatrician Bill Sears. "We all
know what smoking does for the lungs."

Sears called the long-term effect of air pollution on a developing child
devastating. "Children do not grow as well because they do not breathe
as well. The brain really needs a lot of oxygen. They don't think as
well. They don't learn as well."
