Healio (10/22, Gramigna) reports, “An increase in green space may improve children’s mental health,” investigators concluded after seeking “to examine the effects of several environmental factors, including artificial light at night…near-roadway air pollution,” noise “and green space, on self-reported stress among 2,290 children living in eight densely populated urban communities in southern California.” The findings of the “cohort study” were published online in JAMA Network Open.
