Everyone wants their children to grow up to be healthy adults. Well, almost everyone. W.C.
Combustion engine vehicles account for over a quarter of all global emissions. That’s why governments around the world are attempting to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles, which emit far fewer pollutants in the atmosphere. Children stand to gain a lot from this switch, especially kids at particular risk for respiratory illness.
Children have increased exposure to air pollution compared to adults. They breathe more quickly than adults and breathe in more air in relation to their body weight than adults do. They are often outside for longer periods and are usually more active when outdoors. Consequently, they inhale more polluted outdoor air than adults typically do.
