Child in the City (29 July 2022) have shared findings from a study which took place in the Portuguese city of Porto. This study suggests that more must be done to ensure children have access to parks and other green spaces to improve their lung health.
The study, published in the European Respiratory Journal, found children whose home surroundings became “greener” between birth and their 10th birthday, had better lung function. This was either due to house moves or to environmental changes.
