An international study carried out in some of the major cities in Europe has confirmed that the pollution caused by traffic does indeed play a role in children developing asthma.
Researchers at Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute conducted their study in 10 different cities, including Stockholm, Barcelona, Bilbao, Granada, Rome, Seville, Brussels, Vienna, Valencia and Ljubljana.
They found that around 14 percent of chronic childhood asthma could have been caused by near-road traffic pollution.
The study has been published in the European Respiratory Journal.
