长期暴露在交通污染中与儿童和青少年的不良健康后果有关。相当多的学校可能位于主要道路附近，这可能会使数百万儿童面临严重的交通污染，但这一假设尚未在全国范围内进行评估。我们获得了114,644所美国公立和私立学校的位置和特点的数据，这些学校从幼儿园到12年级，并计算了它们到最近的主要道路的距离。2005-2006年，320万名学生(6.2%)就读于距离主干道100米以内的8 424所学校(7.3%)，另有320万名(6.3%)学生就读于距离主干道100米至250米范围内的8 555所学校(7.5%)。以黑人学生为主的学校位于主干道250米以内的可能性高出18%(95%CI，13%-23%)。有资格参加TITLI项目的公立学校和大多数学生有资格享受免费/降价餐饮的公立学校也更有可能靠近主要道路。总而言之，640万美国儿童在一条主干道250米范围内的学校上学，他们可能暴露在高度的交通污染中。少数群体和贫困儿童受到的影响不成比例，尽管有些结果因地区而异。
Long-term exposure to traffic pollution has been associated with adverse health outcomes in children and adolescents. A significant number of schools may be located near major roadways, potentially exposing millions of children to high levels of traffic pollution, but this hypothesis has not been evaluated nationally. We obtained data on the location and characteristics of 114,644 US public and private schools, grades pre-kindergarten through 12, and calculated their distance to nearest major roadway. In 2005–2006, 3.2 million students (6.2%) attended 8,424 schools (7.3%) located within 100 meters of a major roadway, and an additional 3.2 million (6.3%) students attended 8,555 (7.5%) schools located 100 to 250 m from a major roadway. Schools serving predominantly black students were 18% (95% CI, 13% – 23%) more likely to be located within 250 m of a major roadway. Public schools eligible for Title I programs and those with a majority of students eligible for free/reduced price meals were also more likely to be near major roadways. In conclusion, 6.4 million US children attended schools within 250 m of a major roadway and were likely exposed to high levels of traffic pollution. Minority and underprivileged children were disproportionately affected, although some results varied regionally.
