Green School Buses: How Investing in Cleaner Transportation Benefits Students
A recent study has found that green school buses can have a positive effect on the mental and physical well-being of children. The study revealed that green school buses reduce children’s exposure to air pollution and can help combat childhood obesity and improve cognitive abilities.
Researchers from the University of Michigan studied 6,000 children from different socio-economic backgrounds, who were either exposed to traditional yellow school buses or green school buses. They found that the children exposed to green school buses had significantly lower levels of air pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. They also found that children exposed to green school buses had lower rates of obesity, better cognitive function, and better academic performance.
This research highlights the importance of green school buses in providing a healthier and safer environment for our children. By reducing air pollution, green school buses can help protect our children’s health and improve their academic performance.
