Particulate matter more harmful for children

Children have an organism that has yet to develop and is therefore more susceptible to damage caused by fine particulate matter, then they breathe more frequently and therefore inhale a greater amount of pollutants; at least according to a Thai study that shows that schoolchildren who enjoy better health at school will have better results that they will give back to societies in the future. Thailand has one of the most polluting cities in the world and children would be at great risk of long-term damage to their respiratory system, especially due to PM2.5 particulate matter that is so small that it enters the bloodstream (not to mention that in traffic for example children are closer to car exhausts). Generally children do not understand what happens when they inhale pollutants and simply wonder why their throats burn and cough often.
