Victoria Allen, Science correspondent for the Daily Mail reports that recent studies have found that cutting air pollution outside schools could boost children's memories, putting them the equivalent of a month ahead in school, experts suggest.
Previous Spanish research has shown children at schools in highly polluted areas. A 20 per cent reduction in pollution could help children's memories improve up to four weeks faster in a year, based on the Spanish evidence.
The findings will raise concerns about further risks to children from dirty air beyond asthma and respiratory problems.
