Breast milk can guard your babies from pollution
Posted: 05/25/2015 04:25 PM IST
Breast milk can protect your kids against traffic and factories, according to a study by University of Basque Country.
The study monitored 638 women and their newborn babies up until were 15 months old, followed by a check-up when the children turned eight. The women and children studied all live in the Goierri-Alto and Medio Urola valleys, in the Basque Country which is home to 11 steel works and a major motorway.
Dr Aitana Lertxundi of the Basque Country University's Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health said: 'In the foetal phase the central nervous system is being formed and lacks sufficient detoxification mechanisms to eliminate the toxins that build up.'
Pollution particle matter particles measure less than 2.5 micra and are four times thinner that a single hair.
The study is published in Journal Environment International.
