- Air pollution is harmful, especially to children, and it's important to find ways to improve air quality to protect health now and in the future.
- The CHILL study is looking at how London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) affects kids' health by comparing kids in London and Luton over five years.
- The study will help understand if ULEZ actually improves air quality and helps kids breathe better, which is super important since more people are living in cities with bad air.

Furthermore, although adolescent resilience continues to be a research priority, little attention has been paid to adolescent pathways of resilience in the face or aftermath of pollution exposure.
