Downside to Exercise for City Kids: More Pollution

Exercise is usually great for children, but a new study generic cialis finds that city kids who get regular exercise may breathe in more of an airborne toxin as a result.
“This study’s findings clearly add to evidence that physical activity may benefit the respiratory health of children, but exposure to high levels of black carbon may lessen this effect,” said study researcher Dr. Rachel Miller.
She’s a professor of environmental health sciences at Columbia University’s viagracanadianpharmacy-norx Mailman School of Public Health in New York City.
The research included 129 children from New York City. They were between ages 9 and 14. The kids wore wrist monitors to measure their physical activity levels over six days. Nearly 60 percent of them did 60 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous exercise a day.
Compared to the less active can viagra go bad children, the active youngsters were exposed to 25 cialis generic percent more black carbon, a traffic-related air pollutant, the researchers found.
Daily physical activity was associated with reduced airway inflammation, but primarily among children exposed to lower concentrations of black carbon, the study reported.
“Future studies should be aimed at understanding the precise levels of pollutant exposure during periods of high activity so that we might better understand which children are at the highest cialis 20 mg türkiye risk for lung disease,” Miller said in a university news release.
The study was published online recently in Environmental Research.
