A study by the University Hospital Arrixaca (Murcia, Spain) linked the risk of childhood leukemia with prolonged exposure to air pollution from traffic.

One of the main findings of this investigation determined that the fact of living during pregnancy to less than 100 meters of a road with heavy traffic in children doubled the risk of developing leukemia.

Specifically, this research studied the health of 187 children who were exposed to air pollution during pregnancy, with the result that 45.5% of them (85 children) had hematologic malignancies, whether leukemia or lymphoma.
