Even for fit and healthy millennials, a weekend away in air pollution hotspots such as Barcelona or Milan can lead to coughing and breathing difficulties.
These are the findings of a study from the NYU School of Medicine who analysed the effects of air pollution on healthy young adults who have travelled abroad. For the study, researchers analysed six measurements of lung and heart health in 34 men and women travelling abroad for at least a week from the metropolitan New York City area.
