 Exposure to air pollution during the first two years of life is associated with worse attention capacity in children

A study highlights the potential impact of traffic-related air pollution (NO2) on attentional development

Summary:
A growing body of research shows that exposure to air pollution, especially during pregnancy and childhood, may have a negative impact on brain development. Now a study has found that exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) during the first two years of life is associated with poorer attention capacity in children aged 4 to 8, especially in boys. NO2 is a pollutant that comes mainly from traffic emissions.

A growing body of research shows that exposure to air pollution, especially during pregnancy and childhood, may have a negative impact on brain development. Now a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), a centre supported by the "la Caixa" Foundation, has found that exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) during the first two years of life is associated with poorer attention capacity in children aged 4 to 8, especially in boys. NO2 is a pollutant that comes mainly from traffic emissions.

The study, published in Environment International, shows that higher exposure to NO2 was associated with poorer attentional function in 4- to 6-year-olds, with increased susceptibility to this pollutant observed in the second year of life. This association persisted at an age of 6 to 8 years of age only in boys, with a slightly greater susceptibility period from birth to 2 years of age.

Birdwatching can help students improve mental health, reduce distress Source: North Carolina State University Summary: A new study finds people who have nature-based experiences report better well-being and lower psychological distress than those who do not. Birdwatching in particular yielded promising results, with higher gains in subjective well-being and more reduction in distress than more generic nature exposure, such as walks. Because birdwatching is an easily accessible activity, the results are encouraging for college students -- who are among those most likely to suffer from mental health problems.

  Gender stereotypes in schools impact on girls and boys with mental health difficulties, study finds Source: University of Exeter Summary: Gender stereotypes mean that girls can be celebrated for their emotional openness and maturity in school, while boys are seen as likely to mask their emotional distress through silence or disruptive behaviors, according to a recent study. Gender stereotypes mean that girls can be celebrated for their emotional openness and maturity in school, while boys are seen as likely to mask their emotional distress through silence or disruptive behaviours. Children and teachers who took part in the study said they feared the mental health needs of boys might be missed at school, which makes them an 'at risk' group. Researchers have warned of the negative impacts on girls where the manifestation of emotional distress such as crying or self-harm could become "feminised and diminished," so taken less seriously. -----   -----   ----- ...
