I think that’s certainly a big part of the explanation, but I think it’s more complicated that what we’ve thought,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some three years ago, McConnell participated in a study that found a correlation between heavier children and higher traffic density around their homes. Not only were the children who were exposed to a lot of traffic fatter, but the more traffic they had in their neighborhoods, the more quickly they packed on pounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers surmised that parents might be reluctant to send their children out to play in a neighborhood where going outside was unpleasant and possibly dangerous. So McConnell and his colleagues expected to find the kids who got the least exercise gained the most weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the data didn’t match that hypothesis. There wasn’t the strong correlation between fat and a sedentary life that researchers had expected to see. The exercise records were spotty, but still, it was puzzling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around the same time as McConnell's study, researchers at Ohio State University published research in which they had fed mice a high-fat diet and made them breathe polluted air. The mice developed a resistance to insulin and gained abdominal fat quickly, both reactions that match animal models for diabetes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell said he remained intrigued by the mismatch between weight and exercise in his study, and he thought the Ohio State research held the key to an explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, other researchers found a correlation between prenatal exposure to urban pollution and higher obesity rates among children, and the Ohio State team’s follow-up investigations on their mouse study reinforced the link between fat and a polluted atmosphere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it does appear true that where the overweight kids live has a big influence on whether or not they grow fat. But there’s probably more to the story than exercise opportunity. There are increasing indications that the air the children breathe plays a significant role too, McConnell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His team will examine the records for 12,000 children who have been followed from elementary school through high school graduation as part of the USC Children’s Health Study, checking their exposure to air pollution against obesity. Researchers will give 200 obese children MRI exams, checking to see whether their body fat has concentrated around their abdominal organs, as it did with the mice in the Ohio study. Such fat buildups are increasingly believed to be a key risk factor for diabetes, McConnell said. He said the team also will test blood and fat samples for signs of inflammatory and pre-diabetic characteristics found in the mouse studies. Finally, an animal study will try exposing the test subjects to air pollution at different points in their lives – for example, before and after birth. The goal there will be to identify a point where exposure has the greatest impact, McConnell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over the next five years, I think we have a great opportunity to nail down what’s going on by looking at it from a variety of different levels,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell also has been a leader in research showing how roadway air pollution \u003ca href=\"http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&ved=0CEIQtwIwAw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D15Qj_JsCdpM&ei=oViGUu-KAYTtiwLbu4HACw&usg=AFQjCNFv9chhlmQNZwP7DIgFHKG21elg2A&bvm=bv.56643336,d.cGE\">may cause asthma\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t need a lot of additional reasons to control air pollution, but I think understanding the true burdens associated with it probably helps policy makers decide what to do,” McConnell said.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Studies have linked air pollution exposure, especially exposure to pollution from congested roadways, with serious health conditions ranging from asthma, to heart disease, to cancer, to low birth weight.\r\n\r\nNow a research team at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine has received funding to investigate whether children living near busy roadways are more prone to obesity.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1385743410,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":22,"wordCount":845},"headData":{"title":"Can Air Pollution Make Children Fat? | KQED","description":"Studies have linked air pollution exposure, especially exposure to pollution from congested roadways, with serious health conditions ranging from asthma, to heart disease, to cancer, to low birth weight.\r\n\r\nNow a research team at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine has received funding to investigate whether children living near busy roadways are more prone to obesity.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"Can Air Pollution Make Children Fat?","datePublished":"2013-11-27T19:58:59.000Z","dateModified":"2013-11-29T16:43:30.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"disqusIdentifier":"16444 http://blogs.kqed.org/stateofhealth/?p=16444","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2013/11/27/can-air-pollution-make-children-fat/","disqusTitle":"Can Air Pollution Make Children Fat?","path":"/stateofhealth/16444/can-air-pollution-make-children-fat","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_16466\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2013/11/181753809-e1385582095189.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-16466\" title=\"\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2013/11/181753809-640x433.jpg\" alt=\"(Jeff Swenson/Getty Images)\" width=\"640\" height=\"433\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Jeff Swenson/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>By Chris Richard\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies have linked air pollution exposure, especially exposure to pollution from congested roadways, with serious health conditions ranging from asthma, to heart disease, to cancer, to low birth weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now a research team at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine has received funding to investigate whether children living near busy roadways are more prone to obesity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the federal Environmental Protection Agency recently awarded $7.8 million to the medical school’s \u003ca href=\"http://hydra.usc.edu/cehc/\">Southern California Children’s Environmental Health Center\u003c/a> to fund research by over the next five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists will conduct new studies and analyze existing data on whether and how roadway pollution may make children obese.

So McConnell and his colleagues expected to find the kids who got the least exercise gained the most weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the data didn’t match that hypothesis. There wasn’t the strong correlation between fat and a sedentary life that researchers had expected to see. The exercise records were spotty, but still, it was puzzling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around the same time as McConnell's study, researchers at Ohio State University published research in which they had fed mice a high-fat diet and made them breathe polluted air. The mice developed a resistance to insulin and gained abdominal fat quickly, both reactions that match animal models for diabetes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell said he remained intrigued by the mismatch between weight and exercise in his study, and he thought the Ohio State research held the key to an explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, other researchers found a correlation between prenatal exposure to urban pollution and higher obesity rates among children, and the Ohio State team’s follow-up investigations on their mouse study reinforced the link between fat and a polluted atmosphere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it does appear true that where the overweight kids live has a big influence on whether or not they grow fat. But there’s probably more to the story than exercise opportunity. There are increasing indications that the air the children breathe plays a significant role too, McConnell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His team will examine the records for 12,000 children who have been followed from elementary school through high school graduation as part of the USC Children’s Health Study, checking their exposure to air pollution against obesity. Researchers will give 200 obese children MRI exams, checking to see whether their body fat has concentrated around their abdominal organs, as it did with the mice in the Ohio study. Such fat buildups are increasingly believed to be a key risk factor for diabetes, McConnell said. He said the team also will test blood and fat samples for signs of inflammatory and pre-diabetic characteristics found in the mouse studies. Finally, an animal study will try exposing the test subjects to air pollution at different points in their lives – for example, before and after birth. The goal there will be to identify a point where exposure has the greatest impact, McConnell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over the next five years, I think we have a great opportunity to nail down what’s going on by looking at it from a variety of different levels,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell also has been a leader in research showing how roadway air pollution \u003ca href=\"http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&ved=0CEIQtwIwAw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D15Qj_JsCdpM&ei=oViGUu-KAYTtiwLbu4HACw&usg=AFQjCNFv9chhlmQNZwP7DIgFHKG21elg2A&bvm=bv.56643336,d.cGE\">may cause asthma\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t need a lot of additional reasons to control air pollution, but I think understanding the true burdens associated with it probably helps policy makers decide what to do,” McConnell said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/stateofhealth/16444/can-air-pollution-make-children-fat","authors":["8344"],"categories":["stateofhealth_11"],"tags":["stateofhealth_21","stateofhealth_117"],"featImg":"stateofhealth_16466","label":"stateofhealth"},"stateofhealth_16294":{"type":"posts","id":"stateofhealth_16294","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"stateofhealth","id":"16294","score":null,"sort":[1384891167000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"air-pollution-standards-mean-truckers-must-retrofit-or-upgrade-soon","title":"Air Pollution Standards Mean Truckers Must Retrofit or Upgrade -- Soon","publishDate":1384891167,"format":"aside","headTitle":"State of Health | KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"stateofhealth"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_16298\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-16298\" title=\"\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2013/11/RS7621_TruckersAndCARB4-scr-640x428.jpg\" alt=\"California Air Resources Board field representative Barry Pratt (right) questions Canadian trucker Henry Gustof, left, as a CARB team inspects trucks for compliance with clean air rules at a weighing station north of Los Angeles.

Owners of three or fewer trucks must make a good faith effort to install their first filter on time. Then they have up to three years to get filters on the rest. Violators face fines of up to $10,000.

In the 1940s, there were smog events in the L.A. area where residents couldn’t see a city block.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ozone is created when pollutants from cars, power plants and other sources interact with sunlight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To address ozone pollution, the air resources board requires car manufacturers to meet more stringent emission standards and regulates some chemical-based consumer products that may contribute to ozone during evaporation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its new study, EPA researchers exposed 23 healthy young adults to two-hour sessions of both clean air and ozone-polluted air at levels about two times greater than what residents in China or Mexico experience during the middle of the day. After exposure to the pollutant, the study subjects saw an increase in various cardiovascular indicators that could result in heart problems in people with heart disease, including vascular inflammation and a reduced ability to dissolve artery-blocking blood clots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though studies of ozone and human health abound, the new EPA study, published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, is among the first to use human volunteers to explain how ozone can potentially kill people by causing heart attacks. Previous epidemiological studies have shown a connection using statistical analyses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the strongest evidence that there is a true causal connection” between ozone exposure and heart health, and confirms and expands what has been suggested in previous studies, said Douglas Dockery, an environmental epidemiology professor at Harvard’s School of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health experts said that the latest EPA study is an important contribution to determining the extent of the relationship between ozone exposure and cardiovascular problems – an issue that is far from scientifically settled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A larger, 90-person study among the elderly was recently launched by the Boston-based Health Effects Institute in conjunction with UC San Francisco and two other universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is not a universal set of studies that say, ‘Yeah, ozone definitely contributes to cardiovascular effects,' \" said Dan Greenbaum of the Health Effects Institute. \"But that may be because we have not looked at it the right way, and that is what we are trying to do with this study (of the elderly).”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joe Lyou, a governing board member of the South Coast Air Quality Management District and the CEO and president of the Coalition for Clean Air, said more could be done at a policy level to address the health impacts of ozone pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to move toward zero and near-zero emission transportation for both people and freight,” he said in an email. “In order to meet our clean air standards, we have to focus on the combustion of petrochemical fuels and identify ways to minimize and eliminate it. If we do it right, we can increase energy efficiency, reduce our dependency upon foreign oil and save boatloads of money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The EPA is currently reviewing the national air quality standards for ozone and will issue a final rule in 2014.

In the 1940s, there were smog events in the L.A. area where residents couldn’t see a city block.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ozone is created when pollutants from cars, power plants and other sources interact with sunlight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To address ozone pollution, the air resources board requires car manufacturers to meet more stringent emission standards and regulates some chemical-based consumer products that may contribute to ozone during evaporation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its new study, EPA researchers exposed 23 healthy young adults to two-hour sessions of both clean air and ozone-polluted air at levels about two times greater than what residents in China or Mexico experience during the middle of the day. After exposure to the pollutant, the study subjects saw an increase in various cardiovascular indicators that could result in heart problems in people with heart disease, including vascular inflammation and a reduced ability to dissolve artery-blocking blood clots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though studies of ozone and human health abound, the new EPA study, published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, is among the first to use human volunteers to explain how ozone can potentially kill people by causing heart attacks. Previous epidemiological studies have shown a connection using statistical analyses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the strongest evidence that there is a true causal connection” between ozone exposure and heart health, and confirms and expands what has been suggested in previous studies, said Douglas Dockery, an environmental epidemiology professor at Harvard’s School of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health experts said that the latest EPA study is an important contribution to determining the extent of the relationship between ozone exposure and cardiovascular problems – an issue that is far from scientifically settled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A larger, 90-person study among the elderly was recently launched by the Boston-based Health Effects Institute in conjunction with UC San Francisco and two other universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is not a universal set of studies that say, ‘Yeah, ozone definitely contributes to cardiovascular effects,' \" said Dan Greenbaum of the Health Effects Institute. \"But that may be because we have not looked at it the right way, and that is what we are trying to do with this study (of the elderly).”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joe Lyou, a governing board member of the South Coast Air Quality Management District and the CEO and president of the Coalition for Clean Air, said more could be done at a policy level to address the health impacts of ozone pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to move toward zero and near-zero emission transportation for both people and freight,” he said in an email. “In order to meet our clean air standards, we have to focus on the combustion of petrochemical fuels and identify ways to minimize and eliminate it. If we do it right, we can increase energy efficiency, reduce our dependency upon foreign oil and save boatloads of money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The EPA is currently reviewing the national air quality standards for ozone and will issue a final rule in 2014.
