other studies show a similar link between traffic pollution and ill health. A second group of researchers in Ottawa Canada, reported that children living near busy roads were more likely to develop asthma. They studied the health of 250 children in different Canadian cities. The results suggest a strong connection between how close a child lives to traffic and the possibility of that child developing asthma and other similar diseases. It is clear from these studies and others and others that the time has come to start reducing the levels of air pollution in our cities for the sake of our children and future generations.
