42、ous particle (颗粒) pollution.By installing air quality sensors and taking prams for a walk, a team at the University of Surrey, UK, has found that higher prams are better, because most particle pollution is concentrated in the first meter above road level. On average, children in prams breathe at a h

43、eight of about 0.85 metres, meaning they are exposed to about 60 percent more pollution than adults.On top of this, particle pollution is more dangerous to babies than adults, says Jonathan Griggs at Queen Mary University of London, who was not involved in the study. Babies breathe faster than adult

44、s and they are easily hurt for the effects of pollution because the protective mechanisms in their lungs are not yet fully developed, he says.When choosing the best pram for defending against pollution, the weather is also a factor. Hot summer air concentrates pollution close to the ground, making s

45、eat height particularly important. But when the air is cold, the heat from car exhausts (排气管) causes dangerous particles higher in the air, after which they fall. In these cases, prams with some kind of covering can help protect children from pollution falling down on them from above.“There are very

46、 few existing studies to draw convincing evidence on which pram design is best,” says Prashant Kumar, who led the research. So far he is only able to identify broad things to look for in a pram. In the future, it may be possible to purchase add-on air filter (过滤) systems for prams. One currently in

47、development is called Brizi, which consists of a flat headrest with wings on either side of the babys head. Air is sucked in on one side, cleaned, and blown out the other, creating a bubble of slightly higher air pressure, which keeps out particles.“Designing better prams is only a temporary solutio

48、n to dealing with pollution itself,” says Griggs. “Its certainly cautious not to stick your child next to an exhaust pipe, and most importantly reduce emissions on roads.” 1. One of the research findings is that high prams with coverings are .A. more convenient to push B. helpful to block sunshineC.
