We all know that air pollution is bad for us.
But new research shows it may be making children sick in ways you might not expect.
A study at University of British Columbia found that infants exposed to air pollution in their first year had a greater chance of allergies later in life.
Michael Brauer is the senior author of that study.
He's a professor in the school of Population and Public Health at UBC.
