While searching through the library, I found many interesting sites regarding air pollution with children. One peer-reviewed journal was with the New England Journal of Medicine. It's called Air Pollution and Health-The Good and Bad. It is informative in ways of children and the air pollution in the United States. This journal coincides with the The Children's Health Study. Their research has shown that children in urban areas have a harder time breathing and have defects in their lungs, compared to children in rural areas with clean, fresh, countryside air. "Such matter, which can be breathed deeply into the lungs, includes sulfates, nitrates, acids, metals, and carbon particles with various chemicals adsorbed onto their surfaces" states the Children's Health Study.
I chose this article due to its plentiful information and accurate data. With the library resources the librarian taught us, it showed me how to narrow my sources and make my choices more accurate and narrowed down. Therefore, this journal was one of the first choices I saw and I chose it. I learned from the library session that the online library can be very useful and I can narrow it down to get the results I want. If we did not use the library instruction session and the SMART tutorial, I would have never known I could search research like that. It was very useful and I will use it more often.
