5、hats the finding of a new study. Released when things arent burned completely, this pollution is known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs. The biggest sources of these PAHs: the burning of fossil fuels, wood and trash.Frederica Perera works at Columbia Universitys Mailman School of Public
6、Health in New York City. She researches how exposure to things in the environment affects childrens health. In a new study , she and her team studied the exposure to air pollution of 233 nonsmoking pregnant women in New York City. Because burning tobacco can spew(排放) PAHs into the air and lungs, Per

The researchers wanted to probe(探查) other sources of PAHs, ones that would have been hard for an individual to avoid.The team started by testing the blood of each woman during pregnancy. The reason: Any PAHs in a womans blood would also be available to the baby in he

These included whether her child had problems doing things that needed sustained(长期的) mental effort, such as homework or games with fr

All of these can be symptoms of a disorder called Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD. About one in 10 U.S. children has ADHD.Among the women studied, traffic and home h

Is it food for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? D
24、oes it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the canopy(树冠)of taller indigenous(土生土长的)trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees
25、. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there arent any trees. With increased production come increased profits.Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local-wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide from predators(捕食者)in t
26、he tall trees and migrating birds rest there.Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poi
27、soned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with s
