本文首次研究了儿童的主观健康状况和暴露于住宅环境毒素对学习成绩的影响，同时使用广义估计方程调整学校水平的影响。该分析采用了国家空气毒性评估风险估计和通过邮件调查收集的个人数据。结果表明，较差的主观健康状况和较高水平的住宅空气毒素与较低的平均成绩在统计上显着相关，这意味着空气污染对儿童的学业成绩有独立的影响，不能仅用健康状况不佳来解释。
This article examines the effects of children's subjective health status and exposure to residential environmental toxins on academic performance for the first time, while adjusting for school-level effects using generalized estimating equations. The analysis employs National Air Toxics Assessment risk estimates and individual-level data collected through a mail survey. Results indicate that poorer subjective health status and higher levels of residential air toxins are statistically significantly associated with lower grade point averages, meaning that there is an independent effect of air pollution on children's academic achievement that cannot be explained by poor health alone.
