00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about the hidden air pollution threat to your child's brain.
00:15Your child's early years shape their body and brain fast.
00:18We often focus on diet, trauma, and meds, but we rarely talk about the air they breathe.
00:22Kids today live in a world completely different from even a few decades ago.
00:26We worry about screen time rewiring their brains, but forget they take in 20,000 breaths a day, and that air may be worse.
00:33Most kids spend 90% of their time indoors, at home, school, or in cars, breathing in particulates, VOCs, nitrogen dioxide, and more.
00:42Their bodies take in more air per pound than adults, and their lungs, brain, and immune system are still developing.
00:48Polluted air causes inflammation and oxidative stress, both harmful to brain health.
00:52Studies have linked it to smaller brain volume in key areas.
00:55Changes in DNA expression epigenetics, lower BDNF, a brain growth chemical, structural brain damage seen in autopsies, and smaller corpus callosum from prenatal exposure.
01:06It doesn't stop there.
01:07Air pollution is also linked to ADHD, low IQ, behavioral issues, teen depression, violent behavior in schools, and long-term mental health risks.
01:16So what can you do?
01:17Start by making your indoor air as clean as possible.
01:201. Check air quality in your home and school.
01:222. Ventilate, open windows if outside air is clean, use stove vents, and keep air flowing.
01:283. Avoid VOC-heavy products like candles, air fresheners, some cleaners, and certain paints, furniture.
01:354. Upgrade HVAC filters, use MERV 13 or higher, and change them regularly.
01:405. Use HEPA 13 or 14 purifiers, especially in large rooms, they trap up to 99.995% of harmful particles.
01:48Clean air isn't a luxury, it's a must for your child's growing brain.
