Recently, there has been a flurry of publications assessing the effect of air pollution on neurodevelopment. Here we present a summary of the results obtained within the BRain dEvelopment and Air polluTion ultrafine particles in scHool childrEn (BREATHE) Project, which aimed to evaluate the effects of the exposure to traffic related air pollutants in schoolchildren in Barcelona. To this end, we comprehensively characterised air quality in 39 urban schools from Barcelona and identified the main determinants of children's increased exposure. We propose a series of measures to be implemented to improve air quality in schools within the urban context and, consequently, minimise the negative effects on children's neurodevelopment that we found to be associated with the exposure to air pollution. We also aimed to list some of the actions pushed by governments and the society (including school managers, parents, and children) that have been taking place around Europe for promoting better high quality in the school and its surroundings.
最近，有大量出版物评估了空气污染对神经发育的影响。在这里，我们总结了 BRain dEvelopment 和 Air polluTion ultrafine particles in scHool childrEn (BREATHE) 项目的研究结果，该项目旨在评估巴塞罗那学龄儿童接触交通相关空气污染物的影响。为此，我们全面描述了巴塞罗那 39 所城市学校的空气质量，并确定了导致儿童暴露增加的主要因素。我们提出了一系列在城市环境中改善学校空气质量的措施，从而最大限度地减少我们发现与空气污染暴露相关的对儿童神经发育的负面影响。我们还旨在列出欧洲各地政府和社会（包括学校管理人员、家长和儿童）为改善学校及其周边地区的空气质量而采取的一些行动。
