Evidence is growing on the adverse neurodevelopmental effects of exposure to combustion-related air pollution. Project TENDR (Targeting Environmental Neurodevelopmental Risks), a unique collaboration of leading scientists, health professionals, and children's and environmental health advocates, has identified combustion-related air pollutants as critical targets for action to protect healthy brain development. We present policy recommendations for maintaining and strengthening federal environmental health protections, advancing state and local actions, and supporting scientific research to inform effective strategies for reducing children's exposures to combustion-related air pollution. Such actions not only would improve children's neurological development but also would have the important co-benefit of climate change mitigation and further improvements in other health conditions.
越来越多的证据表明，接触燃烧相关的空气污染会对神经发育产生不良影响。TENDR 项目（针对环境神经发育风险）是一个由顶尖科学家、健康专业人员、儿童和环境健康倡导者组成的独特合作项目，该项目已经确定燃烧相关的空气污染物是采取行动保护健康大脑发育的关键目标。我们提出了政策建议，以维护和加强联邦环境健康保护，推进州和地方行动，并支持科学研究，为制定减少儿童接触燃烧相关空气污染的有效策略提供信息。这些行动不仅会改善儿童的神经发育，还有助于减轻气候变化和进一步改善其他健康状况。
