USC Study Identifies Health Effects of Roadway Pollution
A new study from the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine found that children living near freeways are more likely to suffer from asthma because of higher levels of pollution. Sarah Katz -- a research associate at the UC-Irvine Institute of Transportation Planning -- says the study is "very important" because urban planners typically are unaware of the health effects of roadway pollution.
