LONDON, Apr 9 — New UK research has found that parents who use low-riding pushchairs or strollers which are closer to the ground may be exposing their babies to worryingly high levels of air pollution. The researchers simulated 89 school drop-off and pick-up trips over a 2.1km distance between the times of 8am to 10am and 3pm to 5pm, and measured levels of air pollution exposure for both parents and babies., showed that on average, no matter what type of pushchair they were in, babies were exposed to 44 percent more pollutants than their parents during both the morning and afternoon school runs.
There was some good news, however, for concerned parents, with the results also showing that using a pushchair cover could reduce the concentration of small-sized pollution particles by as much as 39 per cent.
