Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: NO2 exposure and traffic intensity deteriorate the area of verbal cognitive development of children living in cities in the developed world.

Reviewers´ commentary: the results of the study show an association of small magnitude between air pollution by traffic and cognitive impairment. Although there are some methodological limitations, they do not invalidate the application to our environment, since environmental pollution is a major problem worldwide.
