A member asked:
Is it unhealthy to send my toddler to a preschool ~150 feet from a highway? could this cause asthma, childhood cancers, or other health issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Preschool: We are all exposed to city pollution if you live in an urban area, and while you want to provide the healthiest environment for your child, they are more likely at that age in a preschool to get sick from other children there than the environment.
