Columbia University publishes findings from 1,100+ children assessed at ages one, two, and three showing that toddlers' cognitive test scores—measuring memory, sensory perception, problem-solving, and language—improved as air pollution decreased, with the clearest gains at ages two and three during periods of sharper pollution drops.
