Cleaner air in childhood boosts lung function into adulthood

A Swedish study tracking children into adulthood found that improvements in air quality during childhood led to measurably stronger lung function years later. The finding has implications for urban planning, emissions policy, and healthcare costs—suggesting that air quality investments pay long-term dividends in population health.
