Pollution and Its Effect to Educational Outcome
Summary
This article examines the link between environmental pollution and educational outcomes, finding that disproportionate exposure to pollution in low-income and minority communities may contribute to cognitive and health disparities that negatively affect academic performance.
Although we do not currently have comprehensive evidence on which pollutants are more harmful, our evidence is troubling and points to a source of disparity that has not been studied in depth. Because African-American, Hispanic, and poor families are more likely to live near sources of pollution, such as toxic waste and landfill sites, where housing is less expensive, it is possible that exposure to pollution is a mechanism by which it creates poverty. Negative cognitive and health consequences. This article is dealt with the pollution of environment and its effect to our behaviour.

This review found robust empirical evidence that exposure to air pollutants and high temperatures causes economically significant reductions in cognitive performance and human capital accumulation across the life course, from in-utero exposure through old age, with disproportionate impacts on disadvantaged populations.
Health Effects of Exposure to Environmental Pollutants
This review examines health effects of environmental pollutants, covering both traditional contaminants like particulate matter and heavy metals and emerging pollutants like nanoparticles and microplastics, synthesizing evidence that these diverse pollutants cause overlapping adverse health outcomes.
Review of Urban Air Pollution and Health
This narrative review synthesizes evidence on urban air pollution and its health impacts, covering traditional pollutants like particulate matter and nitrogen oxides as well as emerging contaminants such as microplastics. The study highlights consistent links between air pollution and cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, and immune health outcomes, with children, older adults, and socioeconomically disadvantaged groups identified as particularly vulnerable.
